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!

corporate drone 

A mindless robot for the corporation. Someone who has "sold out". Goes along with all management initiatives and enjoys repeating corporate "jokes" like "is it Friday yet", and "didn't you get the memo about the red shirt",
Aaron used to be cool. Ever since he sold out he's nothing but a corporate drone.

corporatelalia

Obtuse, vague, and confusing verbiage crapped out in official documents by corporations and their lawyers. Meant to mislead and confuse, and to promote a prescribed company line. Also see corporatespeak, legalese, and marketing.
That memo e-mailed out by HR this morning was so full of corporatelalia, I don't know what the hell is going on at this office.

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.
