The term “think outside the box” has been around for awhile, and apparently we’re ready for it to DIE already. According to a new survey, it’s the most annoying buzzword or phrase people use at work. Here’s the full list . . .
- “Think outside the box.”
- “Synergy.”
- “Bandwidth.” Like saying you “don’t have the bandwidth to deal with that right now.”
- “Circle back.”
- “At a high level.”
- “Let’s table the conversation” instead of just saying you’ll talk about it later.
- “Let’s run it up the flagpole.”
- “We need to move the needle.”
- “Let’s pow wow.”
