surveyed 1,016 respondents in the UK between the ages of 18 and 76 and found that 48% of Gen Z and Millennials are feeling left out at work because of the use of workplace jargon like"blue sky thinking," and"low hanging fruit," according to a press release viewed by Insider.
Some 60% of Gen Z and Millennials say the jargon is like a different language and as a result, almost half have made a mistake at work because they didn't understand a phrase. Some of the most frequently used phrases at work include"moving forwards,""touch base,""circle back," and"ducks in a row." "Plenty of people use jargon as part of their everyday language without even realizing it, but for those who are newer to the workplace, learning a whole new set of vocabulary can be frustrating," Charlotte Davies, a career expert at LinkedIn said in the press release.
