Thanks for listening to Learning English for Work.
We're busy making new episodes for the new year.
In the meantime,
we thought you'd enjoy this programme from 2024 all about business jargon and the strange phrases we use at work.
Hello and welcome to Learning English for Work.
I'm Pippa.
And I'm Phil.
Today, we're talking about business jargon.
The world of work is full of strange phrases and metaphors,
and we have some great ones to talk about today.
That's right.
In today's episode,
we're looking at some jargon we use when talking about the organization that goes on in a workplace.
Phil, have you noticed that people like to use jargon when they're talking about organizing at work?
Yes, definitely.
And lots of work is about managing people.
So managers often use corporate jargon to talk about concepts related to that.
Yeah,
and we've talked before in the programme about how people find corporate jargon sometimes confusing or annoying.
Interestingly, a survey of UK business leaders found that they actually liked using work jargon.
