A recent study by Kickresume highlighted that office slang such as 'circle back' and 'synergy' is among the most despised jargon in the corporate world. Using data from social media, the survey revealed significant negativity toward this language. While 'circle back' and 'synergy' were frequently mentioned, phrases like 'low-hanging fruit' also sparked annoyance. The research suggests that this jargon not only irritates workers but may also impede productivity, as it can confuse employees and slow workflows, potentially costing businesses time and money.
"The study revealed that 'circle back' and 'synergy' were the most loathed terms... Users on LinkedIn get annoyed with 'low-hanging fruit' as well."
