We have too many to count, but some of my favorites:

-Kabuki Dance

-Coal Face

-KT (Knowledge Transfer)

-Across the Piece

-And my personal Rockstar: Like Putting Socks on an Octopus

Our HR group actually put together a wonderful "Leadership" website complete with a "Leadership Handbook" (Buzzword Dictionary). Of course, it's hidden on an obscure sub-site and is unsearchable. I've never met anyone else who's actually seen this site or handbook, but it's been fun for me!

Ah yes, the knowledge transfer! Two wires running from one person's brain to another, "Battlefield Earth" style.

To be fair though, it is straightforward to understand what it means. On the other hand, it took me a while to adjust to "throw under the bus", "rounding error" (a small amount of money), and "up to one's eyeballs".

"Putting socks on an octopus" helped me find a buzzword dictionary online: http://www.theofficelife.com/business-jargon-dictionary-P.ht...
