This isn’t strictly corpo-speak, but upper mgmt type people do this a lot:
Misuse of the word “myself.” Like, “if you have any questions, talk to Joe or myself.”

I’ll take “myself” over using “I” as a direct object any day of the week.
“I” as an object gets used way too often and way too many people argue that it’s correct.
It’s appalling to I.
