Tracking and decoding corporate jargon
#REF! is a column that looks at the words and phrases professionals love to use, and what they’re really saying. It is featured in the Professional Life newsletter (sign up here). US spelling is used if that is the source of the jargon. This glossary will be updated regularly, with the last update made on November 13, 2024.
Every year we pick the best/worst of the new terms for our annual Eye-roll Awards. Past winners/losers: 2023 | 2022 | 2021.
