“Learnings”
Yes its an old word and was repopularized by Borat of all things.
Ugh. Just say lessons or something. Leanings just sounds … wrong.

Any mention of "family" and I'm out. You aren't my fucking family. I barely tolerate any of you, and I only go that far because I am forced to participate in this bullshit just so I can feed and shelter myself. Just give me my project, shut your dick sheath, and let me grind my life away in silence.
On a totally unrelated note, "team player".
I can’t read this shit on the weekend you guys are killing me :p
Any talk of "we" from the boss really means "you". It's exceptionally maddening when the boss is already a POS who has an A+ for delegation but F- for teamwork and care factor.
"going forward."
Yeah, "from now on" worked fine there Phill.

We're going to hyperconverge our core past the edge node and clear out to the cloud!
"pAiN pOiNtS"
these are not knots in muscles they are severe institutional shortcomings and failings that are draining us all, making us want to jump ship, hazardous, and in some cases even making the company lose profit but you fuckheads just want to write down pAiN pOiNtS and jerk yourselves and the shareholders off instead of actually doing ANYTHING MEANINGFUL
Place I worked at some time ago made a big speech and unveiled the following company motto to a lot of confused faces: "Engagement makes awareness sustainable."
Nice. I'll drive alignment on this value with my directs. I'll status you tomorrow.
Wow, lots of “double clicks”, which is fairly new to the usual list.
Because it's new and awful. Also implies that these massive new work is just a simple tasks. 0/10
Collaborator instead of employee. That's a usage that has spread through every company in French. It's infuriating how it.she just plain lying.
I still hate "leverage" used as a synonym for "use." "We leverage technologies" yeah sure, when was the last time you had your asshole leveraged?
Next biz bro bestseller: "Leverage the power of your bowels to produce fertiliser that promotes growth"
Yesterday I aligned with Harold from the CD team on how to pull the data off their SI table, and so today I'm going to work on validating that data. I'll probably be done by tomorrow

"double click" to mean "focus on" or "explore in more depth"
Sorry, I run KDE.
Typical double click request is as follows:
Manager: Leadership wants a "double click" on the numbers on slide 8.
Doer: What do they want to see.
M: Well they wanted to see more about the numbers on slide 8 they thought it was interesting.
D: What number? Interesting how?
M: They want a double click? Does that work? How long will that take?
D: ummm a week?

"It is what it is".
Used by spineless weasels when it something that they could have avoided, or can still be solved but they are too scared or stupid to say anything.
"We're family"
I fell for this once. Thought it sounded great. Everyone at that place hated each other, constantly spread rumors and sabotaged each other's work.
#1 toxic workplace red flag
Unrelated but I only recently realised that when someone says they believe in family values it means they want to impose their definition of "family" on everyone else.
From an employer I guess when they refer to family they're really referring to a bond beyond work, which basically means they're expecting more from you than you're paid for?
I've found from employers it tends to mean "we should be valued and given time at least on par, but we'll push for more, than your actual family. Work will call you at any time of day or night and you should be ready to drop everything and get in on no notice."
“Learnings” - you’re not fucking Borat!
I haaaaate this one! It's lessons ffs lessons.
“Cross-pollinate”
"It doesn't scale", meaning the company might have to (shudder) hire people if our business doubles.
