Jargon Monoxide

We turn again to Stanford Professor Bob Sutton's blog for a bit of office humor. Sutton's topic is risible business blather, which he labels Jargon Monoxide (after a comment by Polly LaBarre.) Among the classics: "offboarded" and "he got the box", for being laid off. In addition, Sutton links to a BBC article lambasting '50 office speak phrases you love to hate'.
