High Noon: Corporate Jargon

If you are just proactive and think outside the box, we can run this mission-critical project, bringing to the table the high-level learnings and actionable items we plucked like low hanging fruit after the elevator pitch that dictated our next steps.

OK, that hurt to write. I'm sure it hurt to read. But I bet you've heard several of those phrases in the past few days. (And if you haven't, I'm guessing you don't work in corporate America.) Read more.

On the list:

  • Incentivize
  •  Mission-critical

And one I particularly loathe: Bring to the table

What corporate jargon are you tired of?
