I like and see the value of corpspeak. Take “bandwidth”, for example. It’s superior to “time”, because it implies that something else has already filled up all the available time. Plus, by definition, bandwidth = [unit of work] / time. So if I don’t have bandwidth for something, I imply that something else needs to be removed from my workload to be able to do the thing.

Having an arsenal of phrases is not a bad thing per se; as with technology, it depends how one uses it.
