Tesco recently had a huge drive to get rid of jargon in the workplace on the grounds they could hire less inteligent people if they spelt things out very, very slowly every time. So it's no longer a PDU, but "That handheld computer thingey".

Most employers can get people to go along with most things just by saying "Who pays your wages?" in a sinister voice a few times.

"going forward" - what kind of management-wankery speak is that? As opposed to "going back"?
Yes, exactly opposed to that.

Unless s/he means going forward with your hand whilst wanking?
There's some jobs your boss'd tell you to do that.
