The buzzword that is the favorite at my job is "overcommunicate" I [expletive] hate it, , it is [expletive] stupid. Only stupid [expletive] heads need to be over [expletive] communicated with. [expletive] off mother [expletive]. Is that over [expletive] communicated enought for you.

I have this 'meta' manager and it's annoying.

Actually referenced 'Who Moved My Cheese' in a meeting. And to prepare for the project suggested we discussed how we would deal with problems that might arise....but we had no clue what were actually going to be doing.
