Corposlave 

The corposlave is a lower echelon employee in a corporation, separated in two groups but united in a single trait : They stay in service of the corporation despite knowing that it is currently taking advantage of them

The corposlave is usually content with having a stable job over individual freedom and self determination, they are scared of losing their jobs and being unemployed again, they won't go out of their way to work very hard but will diverge into two groups : The miserable corposlave, this one hates their job but is scared shitless of losing it, so they'll tell their fellow corposlaves that they're gonna go on strike someday, and hell they'll even tell that shitty boss that they'll resign...Yeah you know what, they'll even resign soon just you wait, just you wait... !

The second group are the delusional corposlaves : These will rat out the miserable corposlaves at the first chance given, in order to make themselves feel like they're different, or special. They think that they're on a grind, that because they're hitting the gym, listening to stoicism podcasts and posting on r/finance, they're actually on their path to greatness within the corporation. The corposlave knows that for now their position isn't enviable, so they're gonna lie to make it look cooler, aka "chief sanitary agent" when in reality they're just the only janitor they have. They genuinely believe that they have a shot at becoming an executive and they secretly dream of being corposcum
I'm not like these doomer corposlaves...I'm on this grind at Microsoft, for now I'm working the coffee machine but don't worry it's just temporary

I'm not a corposlave ! I only work here because it's convenient. Yeah sure I don't like it but I'm just staying because I want to, I could even get a job at my uncle's construction site if I wanted.

corpslave 

An employee trapped in a corporate or large business environment where they are paid just enough to meet basic needs but face limited opportunities for advancement. This employee remains in an entry-level position indefinitely, with little chance of career growth or increased compensation, often due to the company's preference for hiring externally rather than promoting from within.
Person 1: "I just spent the remainder of my check on insurance for my car and groceries today. I'm tired of being a corpslave and paying for someone else's 14th dream house-"
Person 2: "-not to mention they just filled the position upstairs with someone who got fired for forging documents on someone's two week notice. He just sent an email out celebrating the company making an extra 80,000 dollars this month for having our team do the lab department's job. This isn't capitalism; it's corporatism."
Person 3: "Weren't the slaves that built the pyramids given just enough food and shelter to live as well?"

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
