Q.
It is too easy to plunge into the pool of corporate jargon, especially if these spray-cheese words find their way into official corporate documents. ‘Our mission critical for 2024? Effective Accelerationism.’

If we’re lucky, the jargon becomes easy company short-hand. “Ah, yes. This accelerationism does seem effective.” More likely – staff stop listening, or develop their own assumptions about what the jargony thing actually means.

What is some management jargon that is particularly abhorrent for employees in 2024?
