"maternity leave"Agree that "pivot" is by far the worst. Other bad ones:
circle back
baked in
talk about this offline
leverage
this is your tea party
I love those corporate-speak glossaries that circulate every now and then but it's been a while since I've seen one.
I can't stand "in this space" - I want to punch every person who says it
I can't stand "thought leadership" - this is so pretentious and Orwellian and nobody--NOBODY--is impressed by it
I can't stand "mission critical" - like we're a bunch of fucking astronauts?
I can't stand "tools in our toolkit" - I think again and again of Tim Allen
I could go on. . . .
huh, knight's mom says it a lotI have never heard anyone say, “let’s double click this”
“Let’s talk about this offline” is essential office speak. It’s the nice way of saying shut the fuck up you’re derailing the meeting.Agree that "pivot" is by far the worst. Other bad ones:

I don’t know how you all tolerate corporate culture. Just reading this thread of inane sayings drains my life force.
These may venture into pet peeve territory but:
Saying “knock on wood”.
“Everyone’s name is ‘someone’, so when I say ‘someone needs to fix X’, that’s you.”
I work in tech, so pretty much any acronym that isn’t VERY well known, such as AWS or it’s products.
