Engineering office statements explained

August 1, 2011 Leave a Comment

  • A number of different approaches are being tried. (We don’t know where we’re going, but we’re moving.)
  • Close project coordination. (We should have asked someone else.)
  • An extensive report is being prepared on a fresh approach to the problem. (We just hired 3 guys. We’ll let them kick it around for a while.)
  • Major technological breakthrough. (Back to the drawing board.)
  • Customer satisfaction believed assured. (We’re so far behind schedule that the customer is happy to get anything at all from us.)
  • Preliminary operational test were inconclusive. (The darn thing blew up when we threw the switch!)
  • The test results were extremely gratifying. (It works and boy are we surprised.)
  • The entire concept will have to be abandoned. (The only guy who understood the thing quit.)
  • It is in the process. (It is so wrapped up in red tape that the situation is almost hopeless.)
  • We will look into it. (By the time the wheel makes a full turn, we will assume you have forgotten about it.)
  • Please note and initial. (Let’s spread the responsibility for this job.)
  • Give us the benefit of your thinking. (We’ll listen to what you have to say as long as it doesn’t interfere with what we have already done.)
  • Give us your interpretation. (Your warped opinion will be pitted against our good sense.)
  • See me, or Let’s discuss. (Come down to my office, I’m lonesome.)
  • All new. (Parts not interchangeable with previous design.)
  • Lightweight. (It’s cheaper than our last design.)
  • Years of development. (Finally got one that worked.)
  • Energy saving. (Achieved when the power switch is off.)
  • No maintenance. (Impossible to fix!)
  • We need to meet for a coordination meeting. (I am hopelessly behind schedule, so can slow you guys down too?)
