Annoying Office Jargon - Part III

Has “triangulate” been mentioned before?

It’s the buzz word of choice in my place these days.

In what context is it used?

I have no idea what it’s meant to mean but usual context here is…

A asks B for info

B gets it from C

B says to C I’ll provide that to A but I might ask them to triangulate back to you as you have the knowledge in this area.
