Corporate Cowboyz

Like Cocaine Cowboyz, but not situated in the narcotics game.

Corporate all day, baby. Money is the drug, and if you're sitting on it, then you ain't moving; and if you ain't moving, you're getting mopped up. No more stoops. No more corners. Just marble floors and three piece suits. Corporate Trappers at their finest. Corporate Cowboyz are really just corner office hitters. Boardroom Sharks. Payroll Mercs. Such is life. Apex Regulators. Their peak. The epitome of graduating. Leveling up. Don't even have a name, just a reputation. Manager? Fuck a manager. Corporate Cowboyz make lateral moves. "Make a few mil here, a few mil there" - Antonio Montana To them business is not a board game. Business is war. And you don't "win" war, by hoarding trillions. You spread it around along with your legend, if not your legacy will be shit.

Make a thousand, handle a million. Damn it feels good to be a Corporate Cowboy...
Example 1
Person 1: You heard redacted, the department head, got fired over the weekend? Sheesh management is cold for that one.
Person 2: Then you must've not heard he got got by some Corporate Cowboyz. Pay house calls like fucking doctahs, these fucking killas.
Person 1: Fucking ay, that's one way to go. Whole fucking bloodline gone and you be the one to blame for it.
Person 2: I'm telling you, mang. That bitch had it coming. Management is saying the position is open now, starting salary is redacted.
Person 1: Haha for redacted, they better bulletproof the company whip. I'm not getting smoked on the way to drop off my kids at practice, because the higher ups need a fall guy.
Person 2: HAH Corporate Cowboyz don't give a fuck. They'll drop your kids, too.

Corporate clown

Corporate clowns are colleagues which are often colleagues with an overly positive attitude. They contribute little to the direct operations of the organization and more become more undercover HR promoters. These colleagues usually as well have lesser understanding of what is going on in the practice, but often try to speak on behalf of it.

They are often 'close' to leadership, since those will grand them the opportunity to organize internal programs or internal events for people. E.g. Innovation roadshows, young leader events etc.. This sometimes mistakenly is identified by other colleagues in the organization, that this person is important, due to their direct reporting within the organization and communication they are often involved in. Leadership is aware and consider that they know they need some corporate clowns for activating other people with overly positive communication, but no actual other results are expected.

Consider that a corporate clown is not a bad thing, but you should not confuse corporate clowns for colleagues to rely on during the execution of external engagements. Otherwise this may lead to get frustration and disappointed, but this would just mean your own misjudgment, because they fulfill a different (unofficial) role. Quick way to recognize is overly positive lingo in communication.
Just received an invite for in 4-weeks to do a 'coffee catch-up' the corporate clown, he is so unaware that this is the busiest period of the year.

Did you as well receive the mail from the corporate clown, i think he actually put all in BCC but wants to make it look like he targeted us specifically.

I just received a 'Happy Tuesday', guess from who? The corporate clown!

Pulling a corporate

1. (Verb) To systematically ruin a perfectly good workplace over the course of several years. Enacting pointless and counterproductive policies in order to save face and money though they make a shit-ton. The "blood from a stone" mentality.

2. To fuck everyone over for nothing other than pure greed.
"Publix cancelled non-management bonuses and stopped giving overtime among other things. Now greedy upper management reaps all the rewards, talk about pulling a corporate."
