Corporate humanization

A corporation humanizing itself, usually through social media such as Twitter, to make you think that the corporation is your friend, or at least a person, as opposed to a business built for profit.

all of these brand twitter accounts that have been posting random shit are just examples of how normalized corporate humanization has become in today's world.

For instance, requiring prior approval to participate in company-sanctioned recreation (e.g., ping pong). Related to: corporate cunt.

Corporate Kermit, during a conference call: Excuse me, Salt Lake office? Please put yourself on mute, I can't hear myself talk over your collective breathing. Thanks.

Corporate streamlining

The act of lowering product quality, raising the price, & wondering why profits are plummeting.

With all this corporate streamlining, we SHOULD be making more money than ever, but we're not...

...probably because of millennials.

The Corporate you

The corporate you is defined as talking to any employee as though they are the business as a whole. Example of the corporate you: "Excuse me, do you have any more of these in stock?"

It is like the opposite of the royal we. Its when you use the word "you" to an employee, but you arent referring to them personally, you are talking about the business using the employee as a stand in, because the corporate entity is not alive and cannot hear or answer for itself

Example of the corporate you: "Excuse me, do you have any more of these in stock?"

Corporate Communism

Corporate communism, as defined by the Beatnik Bird, is when brain dead corporations own the means of communication, (the privatized Big Brother) and which are dedicated to promoting the anarchist idea that the best government is no government beyond the military and the police. Whatever government exists is a wholly owned subsidiary of the corporations kind of like Czarist Russia before the Marxist revolution in 1917 when everything was owned by royalty and its facilitator the church.

Corporate Communism is a blend of two of the most hated and abused terms in pop economics, corporatism, aka capitalism and communism, aka socialism. It was created by the Beatnik Bird as a descriptive term to grab the attention of those who have no factual knowledge of either but are convinced that either or both are evil.
