[xyz-ips snippet=”post-thumb-url”]Everyone has their favorite catch phrase… and it could be annoying everyone around you.

Examples include “game changer,” “get on it” and “drink the kool-aid.” There’s also “work smarter not harder,” “crush it” and “circle back.”
But it’s not just about the phrases overheard at the water cooler. There’s also issues with the second most popular form of office communication; the email. The survey asked people what they consider the most passive aggressive email lines. Examples include “as per my last email,” “according to my records” and the always popular “just a friendly reminder.”
