Corporate jargon has long been a staple of office culture, but for many employees, hearing buzzwords like "let's circle back" or "touch base" during meetings feels like nails on a chalkboard. In fact, according to a new study by Notta.ai, these phrases are among the most-hated pieces of corporate vernacular, particularly for Gen Z and millennial workers who have spent much of their careers navigating the ever-evolving workplace.
The research team at Notta.ai analyzed over 5,000 Reddit comments across nearly 100 different subreddits to uncover the corporate buzzwords employees find most annoying. Using advanced natural language processing (NLP) tools, the study ranks the phrases and provides insights into the language that is starting to wear thin in today's work culture.
