Fizzzzle Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 One that comes to me is "let's circle back" When, in all of history, has anyone ever said "let's circle back" outside of a passive aggressive business environment? Honestly, just being passive aggressive in general is something that boils my piss, having spent most of my adult life in work environments where there is no patience for that. Just say what the fuck you want to say, we all have places to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only "deliverables" was 3 syllables instead of five. "Cross organizational mission critical liberals" works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Vic20 Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Its very hard to choose given that 95% of the upper administration communication in my inbox is pure vague asperational corpo dreck. That said, after 22 years of this crap, I do tire of hearing "Well, at Stanford they..." , Cornell has such a boner for all things Standford its a wonder we don't sell their swag in the Cornell store. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
