Having said that - More often than not amounts to just filler.
Basically - It almost always as nothing to a sentence. When ever you catch yourself using it, try the sentence without it and you find it communicates the same thing.
Amazing - Good Lord, it's everywhere. Everything, everyone is Amaaaazing!

Most corporate jargon is outrageous to me.

Training is "onboarding".
Unavailable is "out of pocket".
Being thorough is using something as a "catch-all"

And on and on...

It's so fantastically dorky and incredibly mind-numbing. I believe I could say that I actually loathe(d) it.

I just hate anyone that always repeats the same word or phrase over and over...

For example:

bla bla bla...you know...bla bla bla...you know....bla bla bla bla bla bla....you know


Drives me nuts as I always notice those repeated phrases
