Impactful, incentivize - not real words

Finding the sweet spot - sounds sexual, weird in a business setting

Reaching out is also right on the cusp of being overused and driving me nuts

And I hate co-workers that go radio silent. Remember - you will be in my position one day and I won't forget.

Heh. My boss reminded everyone that we're in the "4th inning" on such and such a project. She obvs meant 4th quarter or 9th inning.

I don't get this one either. Why not use the words cost, budget, price? It's so clearly a way to make something mundane sound more sophisticated (which actually sounds really dreary to me).

Ugh. I hate "reach out" and "circle back" I like my boss but he says these all the time and it always makes me cringe.

Yes! Because I think of "circle jerk" which is really what most business people are only good at.

What is wrong with reach out? Covers email, phone, text with 2 words.

Does anyone else think the use of business jargon eg, "just thought I'd REACH OUT..." as everyday language or in non-business settings is laughable?
