Corporate Cowboy

In this context, the term “cowboy” has been given a negative connotation. In this sense, "cowboy" refers to those people who shoot around with empty word shells (hollow words or also buzzwords), especially in meetings with word salvos, in order to generate an impression among team members and supervisors to look as competent and intelligent as possible by using a lot of “intelligent or technical” words. This is also referred to as “bullshit-bingo” and causes a lot of hot air and dust but with a “peng-peng-wow-effect”, meaning, firstly, people are highly impressed and intimidated. But over time, team members and supervisors understand that it is just hot air and are in fact annoyed by the cowboy’s apperiance and “wana-be, joke cracking” leadership behaviour.
Their behavior is driven purely by opportunistic and egoistic nature and solely serves to present themselves strategically best in the company or in the team. Supervisors are slimed by the application of cowboyism, whereby people on the same level are run over by renewed word salvos and “peng-peng” gestures, knocked off and/or made mouth-dead.
The basic prerequisite for corporate cowboys is the lack of leadership qualities and incompetence of superiors or the deliberate promotion by other cowboys, who in turn satisfy each other's egoistic spirit in their own cowboy group to the point of neurological orgasm with their fictitious intelligence and pomposity. One calls it also "man round".

This dude is such a bullshit-bingo guy . He is a corporate cowboy......

Did you listen to Steve? He was just ..peng peng peng peng peng peng...all the time.

Corporate streamlining

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

...probably because of millennials.

Corporate Catfishing

When a person uses an excessively old picture and uses filters too much to hide their actual age in work programs like MS Teams

You see Lisa on the call yesterday? Actually using the filter to look like she isn't 50 years old? She is totally corporate catfishing the team.
