I couldn’t find the words I needed so I created a metaphor

50 instances of “management speak” that irritate workers the world over.

I worked in PR for many years and often heard the most ludicrous phrases uttered by CEOs and marketing managers. One of the best was, we’d better not let the grass grow too long on this one. To this day it still echoes in my ears and I giggle to myself whenever I think about it. I can’t help but think insecure business people use such phrases to cover up their inability for proper articulation.

Be sure to flick this one through to your colleagues…
