If you want to annoy your co-worker, tell them you want to touch base about a no-brainer game changer mission statement that you are working on. This is according to the most hated office jargon, which was compiled by UK website Glassdoor.
Turns out, people hate email jargon just as much as they hate office jargon,
So if you have successfully put off your colleague with your empty phrase bingo, follow up with an email, but be sure to include the following terms, which were voted most annoying by the survey鈥檚 participants.
First of all, you should say that you are not sure said colleague got your last email, a classic passive-aggressive way of implying they were ignoring you. 25 percent of employees found this annoying. Next, repeat what you wrote in that first email by using the phrase 鈥減er my last email (annoying to 13 percent) or 鈥渁s previously stated鈥 (voted annoying by 9 percent).
Finally, ask for 鈥渦pdates鈥 (11 percent are annoyed by this) and end on 鈥減lease advise鈥 (9 percent disliked this). Make sure to 鈥渞e-attach鈥 materials 鈥渇or convenience鈥 to annoy the remaining 6 percent of your co-workers.
