This is not jargon! I'm so guilty of all of these - how else do you sign off an email?! 😅
Yeah that's just normal polite things to say in an email 😅 better than just signing with your name and nothing else. Or people who don't say "Hi" first thing in an email, just your name ugh

This is my pet peeve! I feel like I'm being shouted at!

It's even worse when it's a 'brown bag lunch meeting' - usually meaning you bring your own packed lunch. Cheap skates.
Bring your own packed lunch to a meeting? It's bad enough when people expect you to miss your lunch break and have a meeting instead, but to not provide lunch is just taking the mick.

Because I'm petty I'd definitely pack something super stinky for lunch. Hello egg and tuna fish sandwiches!

Just a FYI. The company i am working is having an annual strategy meeting at a nice venue on Friday. I made a comprehensive list of everything written on this thread, and handed it to 3 of my fellow senior managers. We have a competition going between the four of us, the one who uses the most of the phrases mentioned will win a prize. I hope i can sit with a straight face during the day, but very excited as this will just make my day!

Heard a new one the other day
Glide path and soft landing. I rolled my eyes so hard at that.

I contacted an agency, saying I'd just done an admin course but hadn't any actual experience. They said I wouldn't be suitable as they were looking for 'all-singing, all-dancing' workers. So sign up the Black and White Minstrels, then, I thought but unfortunately didn't say!

I saw an internal job yesterday ad saying experience in particular software would be "the icing on the cake, but we are happy to take a sponge and decorate it ourselves"
