Workplace Cliches
Accountemps, a temporary staffing firm, recently compiled a list of the most annoying workplace cliches. CIO Magazine goes to report that cliche-usage is even rampant among those customer-centric employees who, one would think, would want a paradigm that would get them on the same page with normal humans, or at least achieve some sort of communicative-synergy.
- At the end of the day
- Solution
- Thinking outside the box
- Synergy
- Paradigm
- Metrics
- Take it offline
- Redeployed people
- Core competency
- Win-win
- Value-added
- Get on the same page
- Customer-centric
- Generation X
- Alignment
Let's see. I'm guilty of using (or is that abusing?) cliches 11 and 12. I think that's pretty good. Of course, that's probably because my favorites aren't even on the list.
