management-speak

"what we need is a value proposition"

a what? what's that supposed to mean?

"it shows why a customer would want to buy our product"

doesn't the marketing department have that sort of thing? After all, we've been convincing customers to part with their money for donkeys years, surely someone wrote something down.

"it needs to be high level"
so I do a high level document

"but what you did doesn't contain all the individual detail"
that's because you asked for high level. if you wanted detailed you should have asked for detailed. muppets.

so we to and fro and I do stuff and it gets rubbished and I have to do it again and it occurs to me that the sales person involved is probably going to loose this sale and needs someone to blame. no-wonder no-one likes him. tosser.

thank god it's the weekend.
