I once got an email from an executive C-level who mentioned adding value at least four times in a single paragraph.

Annoying as hell because the email hardly contained anything of substance.

That would be every e-mail from C-level.

I don't understand why business people do this to themselves. I quit working for large organizations in favor of smaller companies that pay less, because at least there's much less of this. It does get unbearable.

The best thing I ever did was get out of a job/career in an industry that bought into that cult nonspeak. Anytime i hear that stuff anymore, I think of this Weird Al song.
