Similar to "reorganizing" is "transitioning". - We'll be transitioning X employee to his/her new role as Crazy Inflated Title, because he/she wasn't good at lower title, so they need a bigger one. Or the Y Office has gone through a transition period, because the office consists of three employees, and they have had seven turnovers in three years.

When I first started working in annual giving, I remember reading call reports where gift officers would note, "Tickle for next trip." Ew. Or "high-touch."

In most of the cases I hear it used, though, and I hear it a lot these days, it’s meant in the most mundane way. I don’t know. It just grates on me.<br />Valerienoreply@blogger.com
