"We need to have hard conversations" — What It Really Means

BS Level:💩💩💩💩💩

"We need to have hard conversations"

What they really mean

I'm about to say something obvious and want credit for bravery

"We need to have hard conversations about work-life balance in the tech industry."

"I'm going to state something everyone knows but in a gravelly, serious LinkedIn voice."

Share this translation:

It was absolutely a failure

Our original idea failed catastrophically

We made an app for something that already works fine

Looking for more thought leadership language?
