The Old Corp Speak

It occurred to me today that I hadn't touched upon the "corp speak" phrase that most annoys me. (I was reminded of it while talking with another coworker who shares my sentiment) :

"Job security"

Ugh.

It's most often used by a supervisor when you, as a low-level, corporate lackey, are undertaking a menial task that has either no purpose or has been conceived solely as a means of time-wasting (or "minesweeping"). But the problem is, the only people who say "well, I guess it's job security" are people who A) don't have to worry about their own job security and B) don't have to do whatever task is supposedly providing this job security.
