I think the worst problems with corporate jargon are when a company has built up a culture of misusing words, or using jargon that other organisations use, but using it differently. I can recall several occasions where sales people have tried to correct me (trained accountant) over the use of the terms 'margin' and 'gross profit', one insisting gp must be a %, for instance, because his team worked with sales and %gp margin.

And here I thought the whole team blocked, slack-jawed, after each email, waiting mindlessly for Outlook to show that “new mail” icon so that they could get back to work.
