Flywheel. Stop.
This isn't strictly corpo-speak, but upper mgmt type people do this a lot:
Misuse of the word "myself." Like, "if you have any questions, talk to Joe or myself."
Nice one dumb-ass--you tried to sound smarter by adding syllables but it didn't work, did it!

People saying something needs to be flushed out when they really want it fleshed out.
I suppose it could be used in the sense of a dog flushing out game for the hunters - to make something hidden visible so it can be dealt with.

Growth.
"Good catch!"
Usually said when you bring up something that needs fixing, and said as a way to puff you up and not actually follow up on the problem.
“Good catch!”
We 'nice catch' each other all day. We celebrate when people find dumb shit, especially when it's our dumb shit. We positively reinforce that natural code review and checking one another in the name of safety.
But I work with a bunch of pros on some private-possum shit, and that's culture they've preserved from before the 2005 dark ages began. If you don't know what positive reinforcement sounds like, I get it. Learning's fun.
If you don’t know what positive reinforcement sounds like, I get it.
No, no. It's words that sound like positive reenforcement be repurposed by people who don't want to deal with an issue.

Just the recent used-car lot trash
- the ask
- the spend
- action this
- effort the task
... fighting for hate space with the recent shit jargon
- literally
- cap
- based
... and people who can't write English
- the above list
- the below list
- setup vs set up
- shutdown vs shut down
- start up vs startup
- pluralizing support, e-mail, deer, effort, and other 'non-countable' style nouns with an S. I was raised rural and I still know the error there.
.. and a special fuck you to people who join words together where normally they need a space
- opensource
- incase
- aswell
.. because that last part is just cheap indolence.
literally based

The term "let's slow time this" was used for a while. I can only assume that was some corporate phrase.
- bandwidth
- massage
- ping
I used to have a coworker who would also say things like "I'll ping you after the meeting" and I'd chuckle because it sounded so stupid.
One day he asked me why I was smirking and I lied and told him "You know what 'pinging' means, right? It's the act of putting a metal rod in your urethra and tapping it with a tuning fork."
He NEVER said it again.

What do you have against massages? I find them relaxing.
I don’t remember what it was exactly but someone said something along the lines of “we’ll need to massage it a bit as we roll it out” regarding a new system being implemented.
Oh god I've heard that one many times before as well. It's like adult baby talk
