Pros

There is not much to say in the way of Pros

Cons

There are two particular people who love to use the acronym MSU (Making Stuff Up). They learned that through one of their so called leadership training events. They actually think that using that is acceptable when all they are doing is calling people liars. I have overheard them say to their direct reports "now make sure your not MSUing in your mind about certain things going on here". Really! we are now policing employee's minds? MSU is just another term for Lie. It is offensive to use this with a direct report.

While it is true that many colleagues at Tivity Health use the acronym MSU (Making Stuff Up), your interpretation is incorrect. There is a difference between “Making Stuff Up” and “Assuming” – and when we say MSU, we’re talking about making assumptions. We expect our colleagues to be honest and to always seek to understand before making any assumptions. We are sorry to hear you feel offended by this phrase, and hope we’ve helped to clarify its usage. We’re also disappointed that as a current colleague, you do not have any “Pros” to share. We encourage you to communicate with us so we can help you work through any concerns or challenges you’re experiencing. As you are aware, our CEO has distributed his mobile number to every single colleague in the organization as a means to establish a culture of transparency and open communication. Please feel free to reach out to him.
