Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go f*** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.

Yes, I hate that very much.
I had a supervisor that constantly used the phrase "in case you were wondering." Which 99.9% of the time I never was. His other fave was " we have a fire!" which meant sudden change of plans, drop everything you are doing to come do some other petty little project that could just as easily have been done next week, next month, or by someone else.
Oh i recognise this. What's worse is that my supervisor looked like the boss from the Incredibles. Spineless little squirt.

In the corporate world, there is widespread overuse of the word "utilize", when a nice, simple "use" would work just as well.
Pursuant to your message board response I would agree insofar as I myself often see writing prepared by dumbass recent college graduates who think a letter to a client would be better if it sounded as pompous as possible.
Without ice cream there would be darkness and chaos.
