Best "employment advice" I got from a job centre person at high school was,
"You shouldn't talk like that, you isolate people who can't understand you."

Yep, speaking in words of more than two syllables was considered to be detrimental to my employability. They were actually telling people to dumb down their language to get jobs.

I laughed at them. At length.
