it is used as a verb..."educate and upskill [employees]..."
Sweet Fancy Moses.
That's such an egregious abuse of the language that I want to check it for bruises.
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Can we file upskill in the manure pile with productize?
I'd also like to nominate proactive for tossing in the poo pile. The word, not the product.

I've been to a number of weddings where I wasn't closely connected to anyone who wasn't part of the wedding party - is that really that uncommom?
Me too. It wouldn't upset me if I received an invitation without the "and guest", because technically it's their party and they can cry if they want to choose their guests, but it might make my decision to attend the reception.

Yeah, if I can't bring someone who I can talk to, odds are slim to none that I'll attend by myself just for the sheer joy of being forced to sit through dinner with a bunch of strangers. That's pretty much my working definition of Hell right there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I totally want to be upskilled. It just sounds fun.
Wait-- was she say that if you were a couple, you shouldn't have to include "and guest" or was she saying that if you were invited with an and guest, you HAVE to bring a guest?
My coworker was saying you shouldn't have to invite people with a random plus one. And actually, she even said she would make the exception for anyone who wouldn't know anyone else at the wedding. And she got totally attacked on some other board for that opinion. People not us are crazy.
And I'm shocked that people who are invited as one person would RSVP as two. Shocked!

That makes a lot more sense. I was laughing a lot at people saying-- but you HAVE to bring a guest!!!
What drives me crazy is that people STILL invite my mother and I, with no plus one for either of us, on the same invitation. I realize I am the youngest person in my family who is not in middle school, but I am over thirty and not living with my mother! She deserves a date and so do I! We no linger have to be each other's date now that I am over 18!

see me, even as a couple, I do not want to go to the reception if we don't know anyone but the bride or groom. I don't like other people that much. decline, send gift.
I swear when in Texas that we got some invitations to JUST the wedding - like big church wedding, much smaller reception - common?
