Use of the word "resource" when referring to staff members. "Resource" gets used to cover everything from pencils, to money, to people. People are not just objects.

I use "from now on"...
I hate the phrase going forward

There is this idiot at work who has an offensive way of assuming he's the leader in anything we do. He has this way of 'izing' everything. Even words that can't have that ending. Like he will say "we need to broadbaserize these topics"
F***ing eejit!

I agree... before the taco bell commercial came out people use to say, "Good to go.." annoyed the heck out of me. Especially one of my supervisors pets who would do this little finger thing pointing at the person they were talking to. Creepy.

no real term I have a pet peeve with but I absolutely cringe with the word 'guestimate'.

"we need to look at the big picture", "interface", "put some time in it", "synergism",Get the ball rolling", and any dumb metaphor based on sports. Also anything relating to a TV reality show such as "vote this off the island"

I hate all types of corporate mumbo jumbo.
The next person who uses "leverage" as a verb can sit on my paradigm and shift.

Recently, without a doubt. my least favorite is "bandwidth". As in "I'll check to see if any of my associates have the bandwidth to get that task done" Ugh !!!

When people say 'reach out to' someone, when they just mean they're going to contact them. "We need to reach out to Andrea to find out what the project deadline is".
The other one is 'talk to' - like, "we need to talk to the problem of employee theft'. Just say talk about!
