Corporate Multiple Personality Syndrome

When a person involved in a business organization holds multiple roles and genuinely begins to think that they themselves are different people by virtue of the roles. Often happens when a shareholder is a director who is also a director of an entity that is a shareholder. People with this syndrome can be caught emailing themselves with the to/from fields being populated by the different roles they hold. Victims of this syndrome often cite bizarre legal theories to substantiate spending time emailing themselves in official capacities.

Corporate Solution

I appreciate you working on this but we need to have a corporate solution for this.

Corporateson

Slang for a young worker in the corporate world. Often found unnecessarily stressing over emails, sucking up to higher-ups, and staying late at work to meet deadlines. Corporatesons usually de-stress through drinking, clubbing, and occasionally doing lines.

"Oh shit. Did Kevin become a corporateson?"
"Yeah. Didn't you see those new RM Williams he was rocking?"
"Aye true. I swear that's his third pair."

Corporatocracy

An amalgamation of Corporate and Bureaucracy. Meaning that even the most nimble startups eventually end up becoming corporacratic beasts. Where BS jobs are invented. Where there are more middle managers than individual contributors. Where buzzword bingo is the lingua franca.

1. Inventing ways to not pay people is the corporatocracy at work.
2. In a corporatocracy, having meetings for the sake of meetings is seen as 'work'
3. The BS created to get in the way of progress is how the corporatocracy justifies paying middle management.

Concord

A type of air seeder used by many farmers to seed ground with no prier digging.

Jim: Hay Tavin if you air up the concord I can grease it and fill it up.

Tavin: Okay dad but first we need to hook it up to the 1150.

Jim: I know but before that we need to knock off the chisel plow first.

Tavin: K dad.

Apparitional Corporate Leadership

Normally unseen leaders who make most of the major decisions in a dysfunctional corporation. These people appear based on what's in it for them but are completely clueless about ordinary work in the corporation. Like a Department of Apparitions on the top floors of a corporation.

I don't know, somebody up there in Apparitions. You know, the Department of Apparitional Corporate Leadership upstairs.
