I heard one of my company's managers one time saying...
..."no, we're not 'putting people into jobs' (and yes, he did the hand-quotes thing), we're 'facilitating introductions'"
Gob. Shite. Toss. Bag.
This extends to all management-speak nonsense really, which as far as I can tell is a tool used by, well, tools to sound smarter than they actually are. What they don't seem to realise is that it only works on people who aren't actually smarter than them. To those who are it just makes them think:
Gob. Shite. Toss. Bag.
I won't go on. Likely there's oodles of management-speak examples in these pages already.
