There's also this 6 minute FT podcast on the worst corporate guff for 2015.

And perhaps I can add one too: reached out. This is used more by tech journalists than by businesses but it sounds very odd to me. Instead of simply saying: we contacted acme corporation for comment, writers say we reached out to acme corporation for comment. When I think of the phrase 'reached out' I think of someone reaching out to another person in sympathy or support or friendship. That's why the idea of 'reaching out' to a corporate body sounds strange. Why not simply say 'contact' instead?
