The workplace requires us to be respectful as well as to make use of proficient language, which will not make people confused. However, that is simply corporate culture.

People tend to go with the flow, thereby making overly sensitive statements that, in reality, could have been said as professionally as possible to ensure the other person gets the point. Not all of us are endowed with the gift of building complex ways to conceal our actual sentiments behind layers of polite words that can't offend people.

However, we have our virtual best pal to help us out. Laura Whaley is the virtual office bestie, and you can find her on TikTok and Instagram as loewhaley.

She is an IT expert from Toronto, Canada, and she has more than 1.4 million followers on Instagram and over 1.7 million followers on TikTok. She made a creative TikTok series in which she sits before her computer and asks her colleague, who is on the call, to make a translation out of different expressions by turning them into professional language that sounds polite and wouldn’t offend anybody.

One would be impressed with the way a casual expression loaded with annoyance can be changed to something that sounds so considerate. Her best clips are the ones called "How Do You Say" which turned into a full series.

The videos are getting views in their millions, and individuals are extremely impressed with the amount of information they are getting.
