Collective Nouns for the Modern Workplace

English has collective nouns for almost everything. A fleet of ships. A range of mountains. A panel of judges. A suite of rooms... Yet somehow we've neglected the modern workplace. So thinking about the functions in the typical workplace here are my suggestions

Starting with where they work....

A mute of Remote Workers

A shuffle of Hybrid Workers

A badge of On-site Workers

And next their function:

A forecast of Salespeople

A reboot of Tech Support

An escalation of Customer Success

A redline of Legal

A tender of Procurement

A calibration of HRBPs

A reflection of Coaches

And finally

A deck of consultants
