corporate refugee

It is said of someone that has been downsized, displaced or severed from a long time corporate career.
Most of the time this results in the loss of stability, identity, structure and community.

One morning during the summer of 2002 I was having coffee with a Director of HR. We were friends, so it was nothing out of the ordinary. Out of the blue he said to me, "We need to find you another job!" That was the beginning of the end of my decades long career with a large corporation and the beginning of a very painful journey as another corporate refugee.

Corporate Couple

An interracial couple made up of an East Asian woman (Chinese, Thai, Korean, etc. Not Pakistani, Indian, etc.), and a Caucasian male.

Tend to be white collar professionals, and most common in urban areas.

Basically this is due to cultural preferences. Culturally, Asian women like the traits of stability and reliability. So more often then not, these men cannot be classified as "bad boys".

White men like slim, cute women. Many also have a raging case of "Yellow Fever" (but this is not a prerequisite).

Yeah Corporate Couples are very common in this city.

Corporate Fisting

v. When a corporation screws people - shareholders, employees, other companies - over at an extreme level.

Sue's company sat on stock options under some pretext, then laid off everyone at her location once the stock price had crashed. Then they only gave the minimum severance, and cut out all bonuses. The company does it all the time - it is the corporate fisting champ.

corporate humor

1) Hopelessly unfunny jokes, anecdotes, or one-liners, often told by executives, in a corporate environment that earn laughs from brown-nosers.
2) Hopelessly unfunny jokes, anecdotes, or one-liners referencing corporate ads or slogans.

"Working hard or hardly working?"

"Hey guys, did you see that commercial with that duck?" (Imitates duck) "Hahaha, isn't that hilarious?"

"Hey Jim, how was the office party?"
"God awful! Nothing but corporate humor for 3 hours straight!"

Corporate Constipation

The general inability to produce any final outcomes or progress within a corporate environment. Due primarily to ineptitude in management and policies that prevent the full release of employee performance and potential.

I need a new job. It's the same old corporate constipation. I'm getting no where here.

A really good band. They have some amazing stuff, and their song Konstantine can make anyone with a soul shed a tear. Thank you for piano rock, guys. For another piano rocker, see Ben Folds. For a more "emo" band, see Dashboard Confessional.

Everyone needs to listen to the song Konstantine by SoCo. Andrew makes my cry, it's so brilliant
