Last-Minute All-Hands bingo
Last-minute all-hands bingo is a bingo game for the meeting that appears on the calendar with no agenda. The squares are corporate euphemisms: "rightsizing", "streamlining", "exciting new chapter". The joke is on the language, never on the people it is used about.
Best for: Reorg announcements, and memos that open with "a difficult decision". Free, no signup.
