"We need to socialize this internally" — What It Really Means

BS Level:💩💩💩💩💩

"We need to socialize this internally"

What they really mean

Nobody with actual power has signed off on this yet

"Before we move ahead, we need to socialize this internally and make sure leadership is comfortable with the direction."

"We're about to spend three weeks walking this around for approval like a medieval petition."

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
