corporate pop

A kind of background music (BGM) played in supermarkets, shopping malls, factories, or some offices.

It's the end of the workday, and the traffic's very bad, so getting to the store takes way longer than it should, and when you finally get there the supermarket is very crowded, because of course it's the time of day when all the other people with jobs also try to squeeze in some grocery shopping, and the store's hideously, fluorescently lit, and infused with soul-killing Muzak or corporate pop, and it's pretty much the last place you want to be, but you can't just get in and quickly out. -- This is water.

corporate slave

The people who make the business worldf go round and round, without them executives might actually have to do something besides make rules to make it more difficult for the slaves under them to do their job. Corporate slaves are easily identifiable by the vacant look in their eyes as they are always overworked, underpaid and underappreciated.

Mary was just another corporate slave until she discovered that by screwing her boss and then blackmailing him with telling his wife she could easily move up the corporate ladder and become a slave driver.

corporate radio

mainstream radio stations that throw the shit that record companies call good music at you. They say it is cool and attempt to brainwash you into thinking the same. The fact is corporate radio sucks and you would all be better off turning off your radio and driving to the cool sound of silence

that corporate radio dj said that emo is cool, but i know it sucks.

corporate kool aid

the PR and Marketing specifically geared towards imprinting the corporate culture and brand as a positive mindset and way of life, targeted to "inside audiences", a.k.a. the employees, of a corporation, most especialy to new hires to help them assimilate into their new environment". In the most successful cases, this is done in such a way that the individual who has "drunk the corporate kool aid" will, outside of work and uncompensated, be a willing and engaged corporate spokesperson, advocating and promoting the corporation's stated views and agenda as True Believer.

See also Microsift, Target, and Jim Jones.

I am thrilled and lucky to be here! I fully admit, I have drunk the corporate kool aid and now I am one of the best and the brightest, inventing the future! What do you mean my 75 hours of work each week are distroying my marriage and family?!!! This is IMPORTANT WORK!!

corporate fluff

Sentences (especially long ones) that add no real information, but are used to make things look "professional."

Company mission statements are full of corporate fluff;

We are committed to providing outstanding products at competitive prices. Our excellence in developing innovative solutions shall meet the evergrowing needs of today's modern consumer. Our high standards and integrity shall set the standard for this industry.

Corporate Douchebag Speak

The typical jargon used by corporate executives completely out of touch with the peons actually doing the work. Will refer to six sigma, core values, team effort, denominators, profit sharing etc. Meanwhile they are clueless as to how real world operations occur.

Mark the new CEO came in and gave the all-hands meeting a company overview. Unfortunately it was just a bunch of Corporate Douchebag Speak. He's off to Hawaii while I'm pulling OT.

corporate gameboy

A Blackberry or other PDA to which members of the corporate world become addicted and are often seen rattling away at their keypads in public places like airports, trains, coffee shops, etc. Like portable video games for kids, these devices take over their owner's lives.

I walked up to the airline gate and found my boss and another co-worker urgently thumbing in data to their corporate gameboys as if entranced by this evil machine.
