I love business jargon. It is a wonderful example of how creative people are with language.
Of course business jargon is not the opposite of language. It is part of language, like any jargon is part of language. Just because they use a different lexicon doesn't make it bad.
Problems can arise when terms are used that not everyone knows the meaning of. As with any slang, paying attention to how the term is used in context should make the meaning clear.
If you're expected to use it, then use it. Just be clear - don't use terms that everyone does not know the meaning of.
