BS Level:💩💩💩💩💩

"Let's do a deep dive"

What they really mean

Let's schedule another meeting that could have been an email

"This is a complex challenge. Let's do a deep dive next week with all the relevant teams."

"I need more time to figure out what's going on, so I'll stall by calling a 90-minute meeting with 14 people."

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
