Define: "Best practice"
What HR thinks it means:
A method or technique that has consistently shown results superior to those achieved with other means.
What it actually means:
"Something we read in a LinkedIn post and are now forcing everyone to do, regardless of context."
Use it in a meeting:
"According to corporate best practice, we must document every change in three different systems, ensuring nobody ever actually reads any of it."
Tired of hearing this?
Next time someone says "Best practice" in a meeting, track exactly how much company money they just wasted. Play Buzzword Bingo, generate a waste invoice, and stop the bleeding.
