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:

  • Touch base – 24 per cent

  • We're on a journey – 13 per cent

  • Game changer – 13 per cent

  • No-brainer – 13 per cent

  • Thought shower – 11 per cent

  • If you don't like it get off the bus – 10 per cent

  • Mission statement – 10 per cent

  • Let's get our ducks in a row – 9 per cent

Never using these phrases again is a no-brainer… wink, wink. (Sorry, had to).
