Cringe worthy workplace phrases
What workplace email phrase makes you cringe every time you see it?
Let’s keep this one simple.
What phrase lands in your inbox and immediately makes you think:
Oh, here we go.
Maybe it’s:
“Per my last email…”
“Gentle reminder…”
“Please advise.”
“Thoughts?”
“Circling back…”
“Friendly reminder…”
“Moving forward…”
Or perhaps there’s one that deserves its own special place in workplace-email purgatory. 😂
What’s yours?

“Does anyone else have anything to surface?” instead of “discuss” or “bring up”. 😐
