I used corporate language to hide the truth in a performance review

I noticed corporate language can make anything sound reasonable, so I started using it to convey a second layer of meaning

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had been more explicit about my intentions"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be cautious when using corporate language, as it can be ambiguous and open to interpretation"
