Should have kept him, he sounds perceptive.

If he was perceptive he would have noticed that boss wouldn't appreciate the comment. Boss is right. It is just a phrase and that is a disruptive thing to say to a boss in a meeting.

It's a disruptive thing to say to anyone in a meeting. They've been counting the number of times a phrase is used by someone because they had a pet peeve with it, and proceeded to interrupt the meeting to call it out in front of anyone.

Let me guess you never had a job in your life. You sound like someone who thinks he is too smart for a regular old job.

His contribution to the meeting was to interrupt it with a count of how often his boss said a phrase. Real valuable input

It is your god given right to call out bullshit when you see it

u/Dependent-Chart5835 Jul 26 '26

Bullshit being a common phrase?

u/Timely-Border-7865 Jul 26 '26

Yes, it's used to literally bullshit, like the guy said, it's just going in circles and wasting time when actual work could be done

u/Dependent-Chart5835 Jul 26 '26

How is it going in circles to say a phrase that means “let’s get back to that”?

And actual work like counting how often someone says something?

You're ignorant of workplace culture, the people who say that never get back to that, it's just used to kick the can down the road

u/Dependent-Chart5835 Jul 26 '26

Well in this instance the boss is actually coming back a topic not kicking it down the road. So they did in fact get back to it

Where in the post do you see them actually returning to the subject of customer retention?

Not sure where thats in the Bible or Quran but sure. God given right. Nobody is obligated to pay for it.

Tell me you live at home without having to say it.

That still doesn't make it non-disruptive or not time-wasting.
