I was utterly befuddled by this Yahoo! HotJobs article on "
The Most Annoying, Overused Words in the Workplace" because I was under the impression that using the phrases listed as much as possible was the ticket to upper-middle management. In fact, despite the article's title, it does say toward the end that using these
annoying sophisticated phrases during interviews can impress HR professionals, who use them all the time...
So here's another
CSL cheat sheet for your educational enjoyment:
Leverage = Use
Reach out = E-mail
It is what it is = We are f-ed
Viral = Kids on the Interwebs like it
Game changer = Important
Disconnect = Wrong
Value-add =Value
Circle back = Call back
Interface = Connect
Cutting edge = Not outdated yet

This makes me laugh. I used to be a management recruiter so I'm very familiar with these. I also would add "put this on your radar"=make this a priority and the "best practices"=what we want to steal from out competitors.
