Corporate jargon is too fucking polite

After working more than 3 years as an IT developer, I noticed that the corporate jargon is filled with way too much politeness. For example,

Please Michael, can you please review the following issue and resolve it as soon as possible please?

Of course I am slightly exaggerating but, most of the day-to-day emails are filled with such bullshit. Who are you trying to impress anyway? Some guy sitting a few thousand miles away on other side of the world? Give me a break.

Guys don't do Pleases. Guys don't do Thank Yous. If I help someone and he responds with Thanks dude! my first response would be Fuck you, man!

You're welcome is almost banned from our dictionary. So, spare me the politeness and look into my fucking issue and fucking resolve it soon.
