    i've recently become obsessed with all the insane corporate ways we say normal things to each other. "I’m a little confused" is by far my favorite - it's absolute rage masked as a professional pleasantry. what are some of your best/most insufferable work gibberish phrases?

    Maybe not insufferable but I absolutely love how “per my last email” is code for “do you even know how to f’ing read?”

    "Just circling back on this" = "I just need you do answer. A goddamn 'yes' or 'no' will do, JUST ANSWER."

    "Thank you for your feedback! I'll be sure to keep it in mind!" <- your criticism is completely irrelevant if not flat out wrong and you know less on the topic than the back end of a donkey, but I have to pretend like I at least considered your opinion.

    My two are "I've attached another copy to this email for your convenience." (Translation: I know you're going to buy yourself time by claiming you lost the previous file.) and "Thanks in advance." (Translation: No, you don't have a choice.)

    Two from this very morning: “Thanks for looping me in” = You should’ve come to me 27 emails ago and I would’ve saved you 26 emails, dummy. “In future, please [do X different thing]” = In future we won’t be interacting because you’re dead to me.

    “We’ll table that for now” and “let’s sidebar” are fun ways to get shut down in a group chat

    "Happy to help here!" = "It's my job. I'll do it."

    i've recently become obsessed with all the insane corporate ways we say normal things to each other. "I’m a little confused" is by far my favorite - it's absolute rage masked as a professional pleasantry. what are some of your best/most insufferable work gibberish phrases?

    "This should be more of a listening session for you" is the nicest way I've ever been told to shut the hell up.
