There is a difference between taking the emotion out of language and obfuscating the meaning. "standard, national, and premium" instead of "discount, etc, etc"

There is a difference between taking the emotion out of language and obfuscating the meaning.
"standard, national, and premium" instead of "discount, etc, etc" doesn't get to the point - cost of living adjustment buckets, which could be "low", "medium", "high" and both be devoid of the emotion/judgement but also effective in communicating the rationale.
Corpspeak allows middle tier employees (structure not performance) to neglect precision, but real business people hate people who speak it as it beats around the bush. That's posture talk to them.
