From 'touching base' to 'getting all our ducks in a row', you've probably heard these thousands of times.
And now, we know which ones are the most annoying.
A new report by Glassdoor surveyed 2,000 employees in a bid to find out what words grind their gears, and there's a lot.
Here's a list of the most annoying office jargon, along with the percentage of annoyance:
-
