Corporate phrases I can't stand

Ultimately, just say what you mean

I’m guilty of using corporate lingo, trust me. But there are some corporate phrases you will never find me using. I just can’t stand them.

  • Piggy-backing off of: Never feels right. Just say the thing, or say you’d like to add on to the conversation.

  • Add a little color to: Can’t we just say what we want to say, or at least change it to “add some context”? That’s what it is—context.

  • Double click on that: This one drives me crazy. Why does this exist? If you want to go into further detail, or stress the importance, just do it.
