There are always some things that are not understood by foreign companies, for example, there is always a ppt to do. It is said that now there is an "anti-PPT Party" (Antipowerpointparty), the slogan is "The world's anti-PPT unite." PPT in the end how annoying, why each presentation to hundreds of slides ppt?

"Fart" presentation.

Turbo Foreign MKT

When I was a rookie, special like the effect of dazzling, more color, flying dazzling, and then add sound, flash ppt, a file on the hundred MB is enjoyable.

Then, the "Cup" has been repeated. First the boss's PPT is 03 version, I use the 07 version, the results of the meeting ready to turn on the computer only to find that there are many of my carefully designed animation effect can not achieve, and almost made the boss computer crash.

Of course, it's a trifle, more embarrassing in the back. In order to create a dazzling effect, I put a few charts into the mode of design is "fly in, twist" effect. Who knows the boss just click the mouse, the chart "brush" flew in, just a twist, "flutter" of a sound, like farting sound. Amount of ... Originally, it is the system itself with the effect of sound, and I actually forgot to preview, did not pay attention to ...

A few big customers under the stage first one Leng, then want to laugh and embarrassed, that twisted expression let a person collapse, and then a turn, the boss looked livid gray stare at me, hand Leng dare not click the mouse, afraid of the following fly out of the picture also with this sound effect ...

Finally, boil to this set of PPT finished, customer boss repeatedly say hello not dozen, straight out of the conference room, we almost clamped tail, want to leave dingy, but was a good personal relationship is a nice manager call Live: "You who do this presentation ah?" What the hell, don't you know our boss is anomalous trichromatism? Add so many colors, so many effects, I am a normal person looked dizzy, not to mention the Boss? It's not a clear disrespect for him. This case, you're out! ”

Without looking at the boss, I was already in a mess ... Later, I dare not insert flash, insert sound, with color, really ...

To show off or show off in a naked

Tracy PR Company Client Executive

In our company, what can not be compared to Ah, even do ppt, has become a display of tools.

No, just a slide show, you know, PPT, this is old fashioned, to say "PowerPoint", do not say "12 pages", and to say "12 slides", do not say "put the slide", and to say "do a presentation", do not say "annex", to say "Back up" , or be ridiculed as old-fashioned.

The predecessor Golden is the PPT talent, the computer side put is never "Don't tell me you understand PPT" Such introductory reading, but "Microsoft Macro Command Programming Specification", "VBA language programming" such big bricks. Every time, he passed by our side, always slightly despise to say: "You actually use the Microsoft template?" That's totally rubbish! I've made up a small piece of code to delete those pesky placeholders in bulk. "If I accidentally showed my admiration, he would immediately send a template and, well, a watermark with his name on it."

Don't think the new is good, I have had this loss. Have you been asked by a colleague that the PPT effect is Apple's software? I answered truthfully, using keynote software. Later, I heard Amy proudly shouting, "I'm Not Dead ' 2010, although I have the latest version of ' I'm Dead ' 2003." In fact, I still use powerpoint2000 ... "vomiting blood ah, for" invincible Daniel ", Retro is really kingly.

Even if the "God Horse" will not, a blind call will do, because it means that you at least good attitude to work. One night 12 o'clock, there is always such a micro-bo brush screen: "Sleepy not, tomorrow morning 9 to do a clock presentation, I finally completed 300 slides ppt ... OMG, do not ask for the best, but please boss satisfaction! ”

Show off, show off naked, don't you?

PPT migrant workers "can't afford to hurt"

Dora Foreign Enterprise Administration

The small white collar that revolves around PPT every day "can't afford to hurt" ah. Every time overtime to late at night, the taxi ran on the elevated, I think, their good youth, so wasted in the hundreds of slides on the PPT.

Say good point, we call business person, say to be ugly, not be ppt laborer? "God horse" year-end report ppt, product sales ppt, project presentation ppt, conference ppt, tortured to the brain residual "there are wood"!

The most annoying is my boss, one day an idea, every day to turn a variety of tricks, but also a variety of picky. Insert the chart less, said the content is not informative, not persuasive, with more effect, said the central idea is not clear, flashy ... A PPT change forty or fifty times, you when oneself is "the development and Reform Commission" Ah, how to change how to change, still let me sleep Ah!

The most sad is to do the year-end summary of the PPT. The boss said: "You have to learn to express, skills to be smart, to show the performance of the Department, but not too obvious, implicit point." "Finish, but also a meaningful look at me," Tim that team new students to use it is not the same ah, one eye on the know, a guide out on the result! ”

In the heart silently scold a sentence, how do you not compare with Tim, the others guide out is the immortal elder sister, you instruct is Fengjie!

No way, a group of people work late into the night, not easy to write the content, he came to a: "This ppt template is not good enough atmosphere, not in line with the momentum of our department." ”

How can you not tell me when you are drafting, and all the formats must be changed? I kill the heart all have, still can only silently accompany to laugh, finally oneself spends to charge the website up and down template!

To be honest, the small white collar that does ppt is "can't afford" ah, everyone in the life is a folding wing of the Miser ah ...

A PPT proposal in mind

Joanna Foreign Finance

My boudoir and colleague Coco's boyfriend Eason is a typical foreign-invested it man. Can be such a technical man, suddenly called me, said to Liyingwaige, a marriage proposal ceremony, how to get the law?

On the phone, he said, "Let me take care of a small conference room, and then get a projector, preferably at the beginning of the work time." Having ascertained the whereabouts of Coco, I shall see what he is playing.

6:30, Eason on time to arrive downstairs elevator, weekdays plaid shirt + T-shirt classic It men dressed he actually wear a suit, tie, or pink, hand carried a computer bag, the amount ~ ~ ~ ~

Help him "sneak" to the conference room, take the projector, he is busy tinkering with computer projection, I turn around to bring Coco. One into the conference room, the lights out, the projection on the pink background of the PPT prominently written three pieces of red characters: I love you! ”

Apparently, Coco was scared. However, as an IT man, obviously, this is a complex embodiment of technical kung-fu ppt. In the more than 10-minute demo, there are two of people in the age of photos, there are a variety of movies, watching performances, Travel stubs, incredibly there is a birthday video. Background music is also good, the whole process is Coco favorite Leong song, straight to see the little girl crying and laughing.

The last ppt, the content is self-evident, "marryme" two words with the most dazzling effect of flying out, the amount, but also flew out a ring, yes, the wedding ring pictures, but also plucked the picture!

As a result, Coco was stuck in a ppt. OMG, this proposal does not have to spend the AH. The marriage ceremony into a presentation, the girlfriend to find the company meeting room one side put PPT to propose, incredibly also became, I can only say, this thing too foreign enterprises.

Why do foreign companies love to do ppt?

Ms. Zhu Foreign company HR manager

PowerPoint is a way of organizing and expressing ideas, especially in meetings. Perhaps the state-owned enterprises meeting, more inclined to you a word of my language, focus is not concentrated, time-consuming. And foreign companies meeting to emphasize clearly understand, we can in the same position to understand the key, PPT has a unified format, easy for everyone to clarify logical thinking. At the same time, PPT can also be inserted in the chart, in the data analysis, more intuitive and clear. In addition, PPT can be copied, can be saved, compared to print paper, more environmentally friendly.

Of course, it's really not necessary to make PowerPoint more and more flashy. Originally PPT is just slide, very simple, a page does not exceed 3 kinds of colors, 5 lines of words, later in the demonstration to add some effect, the original intention is just to put some need to ask things in a separate display. And now, these effects have become a means of showing off, "Look, these features you will not!" ”

I think, ppt culture is not a kind of corporate culture, more is related to the boss, boss. If the boss is like fancy, think the effect is not much professional, not informative, the staff was forced to do those flashy ppt.
