hard stop
a firm deadline · a non-negotiable end time
What's the situation?
Imagine you're in a meeting that just keeps going... and going... 😩 A 'hard stop' is your superpower to ensure it actually ends on time! It's super common in busy corporate environments where everyone's schedule is packed. Think of it as a polite, firm way to say, 'Okay, folks, we *really* need to wrap this up!'
