Corporatese 

A manner of speaking that uses the most amount of words to give the least amount of information. Most often used by Upper Management when not wanting to, or be able to, give a direct answer.Very often used when put on the spot.
The bank president used corporatese to justify his multimillion dollar bonus after asking for a billion dollar government bailout.After 45 minutes of talking not one person who heard him could understand his justification, let alone repeat what he said.

corporate stooge 

A person who supports the position of corporations without considering how others, particularly workers, are affected, as a result of propaganda or being paid off.
Yo Denarius, that guy on TV who says Americans benefit from outsourcing is a corporate stooge. He ignores that many of these companies which are outsourcing receive tax breaks, and by sending production overseas will be able to dodge domestic taxes, thus worsening the budget deficit. Furthermore, Americans will now have to compete with the slave wages of the Third World.

Corporate lackey 

A person who thinks that his lowly corporate job is the be-all and end-all of his pathetic existence.
So that corporate lackey thinks that coming in early, working after-hours and working on the weekends will benefit him, and will get him noticed by "upper management"? Wow, he is in for a rude awakening!

corporate personhood 

The legal doctrine by which a corporation is called an entity instead of property of a person who owns it.

Corporate Culture

A prescribed method of turning everyone into an obedient drone with a plastic smile and fake enthusiasm for their daily dose of abuse from people who probably don't know shit about the actual mechanics of their operations
The corporate culture of this firm implicitly requires employees to work in an environment that allows criticism and policy changes to be made by a management that is far removed from the daily operations of the company. Any form of deviation or disagreement with policy is severely frowned upon.

Corporate simp 

Unlike the corporate whore, the corporate simp is a person that works their hardest not for monetary gain but for the sole purpose of making (upper) management happy, with complete disregard for their colleagues. The modern way of expressing that someone is a brownnose, suck up, and kiss ass.
Person 1: Management increased our new quota just because (Name) keeps staying late and taking on extra tasks!
Person 2: Yeah, he's become such a corporate simp!
