Let's get everybody working on the feature into an hour long status meeting to check for blockers. This is really important so we'll need to do this at least twice a day
No stop it, you’re stressing me out just reading it.
This wasn't for any corporatey reason though; it just happened that "every 3 months" is a natural cadence for doing releases. (In a sense it's a 6-month cadence, like e.g. Ubuntu, but we support two major versions at any given time, and their schedules interleave.)
Sometimes a calendar quarter is just a calendar quarter.
Our corpo year starts May 1. Please add an offset functionality to your free solution immediately, as it has now become a core component of our operation, or we will be forced to take legal action. Also, we appreciate if you could sign a retroactive NDA with our legal team ASAP.
Nothing more corporate / enterprise than deciding the year starts at any point other than January 1st :) (yeah I know all about the fiscal year, which I also find hilarious)
ISO week numbering is actually sort of neat, because instead of leap days it has entire leap weeks since the 400-year Gregorian cycle has a whole number of weeks in it, but for some reason they decided that a week's year is the Gregorian year in which the Thursday of that week occurs.

My boss tells me we need it in Comic Sans for the next meeting with our board of directors. Thank you.
Feature request: Please add an endpoint that is by stock ticker (e.g. " https://corporate.watch/AAPL ", as some companies do their financial reporting on a different calendar, and it would be nice to reference with respect to their "datetime zone".
I think the whole effort was to make a funny landing page that would prompt visitors to check the bread-maker objectivetrackr.

Real World aside: The other day I tried to 3D print small text. (Not super small, just the usual 0.4 nozzle size.) Comic Sans worked out best for this due to pretty constant line width.
I really like this. As easy as it is to be cynical about corporate-speak, I find that it's sometimes actually useful (except for the whole touching base and circling back jargon). Questions. When do weeks start? On Saturdays or Sundays? How do you account for partial weeks at the beginning/end of years?
I would understand someone asking if the week starts on Sunday or Monday, but I honest to God did not know some people start their week on Saturday.
