    I’d just describe my job as “running a hydroelectric plant” then

    Notably four words, you hack thonk

    I mean I absolutely agree on a fundamental level, but practically even workers who do real things (like help run a hydro plant) will have to use phrases like these at and around potential employers. It’s not being a grifter so much as speaking grifting language at grifters (employers/investors etc.). If someone says that kind of stuff to me as a non-work acquiantance, family, friend etc. then yeah it’s for sure nonsense.
