What is it about executive-speak? I entered the Google announcement about changes in their sexual harassment with a bad feeling because it started with a very executive-sounding statement that actually left me surprised with what followed.

If language creates this negative reaction, isn't that the opposite of the desired result? Or am I just particularly skeptical?

Executive speak is designed for minimal fallout. But it has other deeper value in maintaining power structures and internal org stability.

Any deviations and rumblings from within the hierarchy become very easy to identify if they don't use the same language.
