"What's the value-add here?" — What It Really Means

BS Level:💩💩💩💩💩

"What's the value-add here?"

What they really mean

This sounds useless but I want to sound strategic saying so

"Before we commit resources, I need to understand the value-add for our key stakeholders."

"What is this and why should I care? But make it sound like I went to business school."

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

Looking for more corporate empathy language?
