And I share your abhorrence for 'at the end of the day'. I'd add 'it's all good' too, but perhaps that's just inarticulate <I> young people </I> rather than office-speak.<BR/><BR/>I hadn't heard the 'cascade' one before either.

Well that's what we get for encouraging them to look at literature on team work.Kirstyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14035268080440921379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15851934.post-89353644387430325392008-06-20T09:40:00.000+10:002008-06-20T09:40:00.000+10:00Thank you so much for the link to the list, 'Fifty...Thank you so much for the link to the list, 'Fifty office-speak phrases you love to hate'. I love it. I'm looking forward to playing my first game of meeting jargon bingo next week.<BR/><BR/>My favourite ones to hate are truly viruses in Australia – 'going forward' and 'at the end of the day' – yeah, like, what, at sunset?<BR/><BR/>But I shudder at another one that's new to me: 'cascade' – or for tautologically compulsive, 'cascade down'. What?<BR/><BR/>for me, it's the beer under that brand name, and the stuff that comes out the other side an hour later.Mark Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02504002779156297181noreply@blogger.com
