[senco-forum] Best jargon yet

No, we have used it for some time to describe covering a secondment for
instance. I too like collecting these. Used to chuckle at managers who would
run ideas 'up the flagpole' 'fly kites' and who are always 'scoping' ideas.
My recent fave however was on radio 4 when management consultants were
interviewed about this kind of jargon. They generally reported that workers
dislike its use (no surprise) and one of them offered-for the one who makes
the coffee-the term 'beverage consultant'.

Asked at a meeting somewhere in the SW of the UK about cover to  attend 
meetings:

"Are we getting back-filled when taken away from core activities? Have  our 
agencies agreed to this?"

Precious

Sorry about the previous blank message. Just too excited about sending
this.

Am I the first to have heard about "back-filling" or do I need to get out  
more?

Martin
