"Let's bring this back to the group" — What It Really Means

BS Level:💩💩💩💩💩

"Let's bring this back to the group"

What they really mean

I'm not making the decision alone, and preferably not at all

"This is a good start. Let's bring this back to the group once we've incorporated a few more perspectives."

"If enough people touch it, nobody owns the answer and I stay safe."

Share this translation:

I'm hoping you forget about this entirely

I don't want to do this and I'm not going to

Nobody agrees on anything and we've been arguing for months
