Corporate Circle Jerk

(1) When a company makes a change to its structure, platform, or logo to bandwagon political correctness. This is to virtue signal and/or make good their past misdeeds, but realistically it was all for raising revenue through marketing.

While proclaiming their altruism and stroking their egos, the businessmen at the top stroke something else at a corporate circle jerk knowing fully well that dollar bills are about to rain down on them.

Person 1:

Did you know it's June already?

Person 2:
When did you find out?

Person 1:
All the major brands changed their logos.

Person 2:
*sighs* The corporate circle jerk is upon us.
