If only… if only, I could reach across the internet and physically damage you in a way that would be both a case of different philosophies, and in which we should part ways, but also, and an invaluable effort in bringing in important projects to the company that raised the technology.
* actual physical damage not included, being a corporate drone myself, I have no muscles in my arms except the one that controls my mouse finger.
(Anything) — gate.

You do you.
Easy peasy.
I despise corporate-speak. But I am around it so much that I sometimes find myself using the same phrases.
I am mostly guilty of using crutch words and crutch phrases. Sometimes I will start off a sentence with “Having said that, …” or “An argument can be made that…”
Most of it mildly annoying and benign. The worst offenders are false statements such as the aforementioned, “We can all agree that…”
You are right. I will be more proactive, and better leverage future endeavours. “We must work smarter, not harder”.
Don’t even get me started on “learnings”
Fucking motherfucking shitfaced corporate fucking assholes - what is wrong with a standard English word: “lessons”?
It is unpretentious. The whole point of these expressions is to foster a vision of strategy, competence and deep intelligence where none exists.
“The Ask.” As in, I’m going to ask you to do something, and refer to it as “the ask.” 
I teach at a community college. The dean recently sent out a mass email about the latest nonsense the higher administration wanted. She kept referring to is as “the ask.” I stopped reading about halfway through. I very badly wanted to write back saying “when you learn how to speak English properly, try again.” But that’s probably not an appropriate way to speak to my boss, so I let it go.
We need to send a message regarding the use of pretentious language.
Being (Locality) Strong is the way they do it in (Locality) Nation.
Look! Up in the sky!
I think you meant to say “hyperlocal”; the better to leverage synergies.
As a society, I think we should agree that ironing clothes is now unnecessary.
Wow, that was quite an example-packed OP. Yeah, people who,use expressions like that are really drinking the kool-aid.
Hehe, I just used that exact one in a post a couple days ago 
Agreed. I’ve been in meetings where I was actually not sure if the speaker was being literal or metaphorical. As in “at the end of the day, the important thing is, we get this project finished”. Wait, what? Thought we had another week or two…
Oh, there’s nothing linguistically wrong with it. We can request something, or we can make a request. Why should we not be able to make an ask? You might not be familiar with it and it sounds strange, but eventually it won’t, or shouldn’t anyway. (Also, it always seems to turn out that some new usage you think is awkward was in fact first recorded in 1673 or thereabouts.)
Idk, I’ll circle back to you on that.
Well, sure, but then all we’re doing is “lather, rinse, repeat,” when what we should be doing is leveraging our strengths in order to identify action items that have been sitting on the back burner for too long. We’ve got to break down silos, so every stakeholder has the chance to contribute and if they feel it’s in their best interests, to buy in.
But. We must identify deliverables. We need to drill down on the consumer level, and see what our core competencies are, in order to deliver the ultimate experience to our consumers. This isn’t herding cats, people, it’s our heart and soul. We’re not reinventing the wheel here, this is what we do, and we have done, for years.
But it’s time to think outside the box. What do our best and brightest say? Maybe what we need to do is to touch base with those in the wheelhouse. And if necessary, voluntell a couple of folks. This ain’t rocket science, folks, we’re not reinventing the wheel. Listen, when we’re done, we’re gonna run it up the flagpole, and everybody will salute.
TL;DR: “Work harder, work faster, work longer.”
We are living into our mission.
