I work in a hospital so our wank words are slightly different.
Things like “Patient First”, “four hours is ours” and “safety moments”
‘Utilise’ instead of ‘use’.
Or, worse, ‘utilize’.

So do we all work in IT management?
I agree that ‘reach out’ and ‘socialise’ are definitely up there. Especially when I find I’m using them myself.
‘Leverage’ too. And ‘FTE’ as a euphemism for a person who is about to lose their job.

However i have noticed over the last 12 to 18 months synergize or wtf it is has significantly decreased.
Agile and rapid in some form are at ridiculously high levels of use. Especially when im presenting to legacy it shops or customers on transformation. Thanks marketing people.
used to work with an operations manager that in every meeting he’d say, “conceptually” about a hundred ■■■■■■■ times. usually in reference to a matter of fact, or a set of numbers. THAT’S NOT A CONCEPT, IT’S REAL LIFE ■■■■■■■■.
along the same sort of lines, another operations manager would drop that he worked at toyota and this is how they did it at toyota.
