It makes you cringe at the best of times, but some of the latest office jargon could make even David Brent’s toes curl:
- Blamestorming: debating who is responsible for something going wrong
- Boss-spasming: suddenly becoming busy when your boss appears
Recruitment consultants Office Angels, who put together the research, also asked Facebook users to disclose some of the worst jargon they have heard:
- “I’ve been spinning my wheels for some time, what I really need is some traction”
- “I think someone needs a bite of the reality sandwich”
- “The juice ain’t worth the squeeze”
So, over to you – surely the bosses in the travel industry can do better than this?
