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.

corporate puppet

(Noun) A person or person(s) who lack spine, backbone and common sense and blindly follow a corporate structure like a sheep rather than doing what is right or fair to preserve self respect and dignity.

Adam says one thing in private and then says exactly the opposite in front of all the coworkers in order to save face and only look out for himself, he is one of the biggest corporate puppets I have ever met.

corporate feudal society

the slow destruction of national identity into corporate identity. fueled by super pacs, economic distress, and the death of democracy.

the idea of country is over, the idea of company is what counts. country doesnt give me a pay check unless it steals from companies. my company pays for my house, it pays for my insurance, my car, my college education. support your company it has no boundaries but it is the "person" you work for. what a benevolent country i have, it doesnt ask for much, except that i slightly over charge for a product or service i provide to give convenience to the customer. that profit is magnified thousands of times and the fruit of this labor is shared to the workers. the great corporate feudal society has arrived.

Corporate racoon

A person—a scavenger of sorts, who, throughout the
course of the workday, roams his/her company halls, meeting rooms and
cavernous spaces in search of any kind of food or drink—even of the stale
variety. Because of the corporate racoon’s cheap nature and “if it’s free,
I’ll take it! Even if it’s garbage” mentality, this character doesn't care
what it is as long it can be stuffed down his/her throat.

Example 1:
"Dude, look at Hank scrunched in the corner over there. Is he scarfing down
that old-ass sandwich?"

"Yikes, Hank, you hungry much? Those sandwiches are from a meeting that finished five hours ago. That meat looks sick and the mayonnaise stinks. You sick bastard."

"Hey man, can't help it. I'm a Corporate racoon. I obviously need help."

“Help? Dude, you’re disgusting. Throw that shit out.”

Example 2:
"Hey, Trisha, where'd you get the turkey wrap?"

"I was walking by the conference room and scarfed it from leftovers from that meeting that ended three hours ago, before they cleaned up the mess."

"Disgusting -- you are nothing but a corporate racoon."

Corporate Soul Vibe

An individual you encounter in a corporate environment that still may actually may have a soul.

I bumped into the new guy Phil at work today and after a five-minute chat I detected a bit of a Corporate Soul Vibe from him. Just give it a couple weeks because this company will pollute any remaining soul that beautiful angel has.
