"Engagement" for me. Online engagement. Mobile engagement. Customer engagement. Employee engagement.

"Touch base" is awful too.

"there again..." then saying something they haven't said yet.

"deliverables" - go frick yourself. Get your shite done on time. It's emailing a spreadsheet. You aren't delivering shite.

anytime I get back from a shutdown our new boss wants to touch base and have a debriefing on what went down. One we aren't the military, two she has no idea what goes on in the field so I spend half the "debriefing" explaining WTF we do as a company.

Apples to apples.

This, for some reason, drives me crazy.

Got an email 5 minutes ago. "Reaching Out", and "Moving Forward" in the same sentence.

Luckily, in my line of work I don't have to deal with corporate buzz words much.

There is an industry term that drives me nuts, moist soil unit, I just don't care to listen to 50 year old biologists talking about anything being moist.

And it's really just referencing a man made duck pond.

Not so much on my current job, but my last place "Corporate Culture" was the buzzword of our CEO. And all his minions lapped it up and repeated it incessantly.
