The one I hate most: "Art of the Possible".
Alternative title how you know you need to find another place to work
To be fair, Game Changer was a great strain. Very creative, me an a bud enjoyed some an launched into DND world building for an hour an a half
I cannot tell you how many bosses Ive had/ heard say they are going to have a moment of "radical kindness" and then proceed to just RIP into their employees until they cry.
Corporate double speak is wack.
This sounds quite specific for something you had to experience multiple times. Hope the people are ok and you found something better to work for.

Grit. I worked at a massive tech company that found this one and it was fucking everywhere. I don't mind the basic concept of it, but it was just in every conversation for like 2+ years.
I'm in full swing of a job search and I painfully relate to this image
No way, this is a great reference chart. All the actionables have been curated into one place.
This shit makes me want to start a cult in the woods so I can live completely isolated from corporate culture bullshit

What’s the worst one on the list and why?
9gag because It's not even an iFunny watermark.
KPI because I'm tired of having a good thing going, an exec strolls in and decides they don't have time to learn about what we're doing, KPIs get spun up, and then we shift from getting things done well to getting things done in a way that games the KPIs so we don't get fired by said exec whose entire job is to glance over a chart once a month as if that gives him real insight into the team
"Touch base" in my opinion. It's the weakest, most common justification for meetings that serve little purpose.
For me, it's not even on the list
"Reach out"
Yous were convinced by a billionaire to use that instead of "contact" or "get in touch" so he could sell more stuff, and also it sounds conceited as fuck; like you're doing someone a favour by contacting them 🤢

Whenever I see companies use ERP as an acronym, I can't help but wonder if they're aware of its more general meaning
Just a few more years until we’ve fully migrated to SAP’s WiFu system
My search skills are failing me and I’m only coming up with results for Enterprise Resource Planning. What is the more general meaning?

Cross-Pollination. Breaking Down Silos.
Cross-functional is the variant I see more often

My team lead likes to talk about "fertilizing each other".
Elon?
I would have so much fun with that, I'd fear HR would get involved.
“Hey don’t mind me I’m just here to fertilize you”
