I am going to make a jargon dictionary, please give your suggestions

Corporate is more about jargons☹️

"per my last email" → "In case you can't read" 
 "To reiterate" → "for the last fucking time" 
 "moving forward" → "Don't try me again, bitch!" 
 "I've CC’d" → "Let's see you lie your way out of this, bitch" 
 "Kind regards"→ “Fuck you" 
 “Warm regards” → “Fuck you”, but warmer

Basically the title.

Travelling to Bangalore and have asked a couple of people in my professional network if they'd like to catch up sometime, problem is, I have NO IDEA HOW TO DO THAT! I mean, what even does one do? Where does one go? What does one talk about?? Do I let them pay out of respect or seniority?? (they're all quite senior to me) or do I offer to pay since I asked them?? Or do we split it??

How does one dress???? I don't know, super confused, would appreciate any tips!!!

Daily Watercooler (16th June)

After reading the recent #Amazon post and people being truly open about it. I'd like to highlight what me and my Myntra colleagues at the same level faced. The level of emotional and mental harassment I went through was extreme. 9-5 extending till 9am to 11pm, i.e 12+ hrs everyday with no incentives, often my manager would ask me to connect at 12:30 a.m. assign tasks and say, complete this atleast by morning. Even on days when we're in-office till 10:30 at night working on displays and whatnot, after completion they'd say now go home and work on concepts, which is insane, work when? Most often our weekends would get consumed in work too as there's always, always something urgent everyday to prevent you from taking offs. It wouldn't be coming off as a surprise if people are saying they haven't slept for 3 nights straight, because they'd say so have I. All that at a package of 5.35 LPA, it's ridiculous.

One thing I really hated during WFH days was MEETINGS DURING LUNCH/DINNER TIME, after a few weeks when it became repetitive, I started saying, but it didn't stop as they would smartly schedule those at pre-lunchtime so no one can deny as it's not lunch yet, then it'll stretch till 3 or 4. Then after a point I started bringing this up in mid conversation in meetings saying "Is it alright if we continue this post lunch? I need to go have lunch" and the same will happen during dinner. They'd say "go quickly have something and connect afterwards".

No appreciation for all the hardwork, sleepless nights. So, started keeping healthy boundaries, politely refusing to work on weekends, letting her know I've appointments or I'm cleaning my room or doing laundry today which they used as a way to gaslight me by saying "you disappear on weekends, what's wrong with you now, you used to work fine, seems like you don't want to work here anymore, please be there this weekend and do this". I was still committing to their 9-5 stretching till 8 evening tho.

Someone previously pointed out that all the conversation took place at the same time. 
Good to see they have learnt about it 😉
