here are some more nauseating ones

“Reach Out To” – call someone

“space” – as in the “Mobile Technology Space” – ??? translation anyone?

“skill set” – area of expertise

“story” – translation anyone? something like information, I guess

I actually googled these a couple of weeks ago and I just came across your list while browsing your blog! I just recently joined the corporate culture and get to hear people talking that way all day and it’s still a bit funny sounding to me although I know it’s a “must-have”.

Anyway- Thanks for putting this list together!

Unfortunately there are so many annoying and pervasive corporate buzzwords these days. Whenever I hear someone at work utter “going forwards” I ask them when was the last time they “went backwards”.

Facilitator – our local Chamber of Commerce hired an outside facilitator to improve the results of our annual membership drive. [I think I would like a job like that because as far as I can tell, he didn't do a thing.]

My company is actually more risk averse and my boss jokingly says we shouldn’t think outside the box lol. I never got the CRM one especially.
