    They have a point though. They are telling you to phrase things in a way that makes you look better.

      A lot of these examples also seem to require you to function differently, or to lie about what you’ve been doing.

      It doesn’t make you look better if you’re shirking your own work to work on stuff other people want you to do. “Clearing bandwidth for the important task” is a fancy way of saying you’re making someone else do your work so you can work on something that someone else considers a higher priority.
