A corporate freeloader. Has an I.T degree but has never written a line of code in his entire life. He says he wants to learn but in reality is not interested. He attended a coarse in C# so that he can boast about it and moan how expensive it was. Doesn't know the difference between a website and a webservice and thinks microsoft sharepoint is something you install on a PC like a normal application.
When trying to explain a concept to him he stares at you and repeats "exactly.. exactly" many times. This is a giveaway meaning he understood nothing.
Strategically, he likes to be someone else's shadow, appearing to be a friend, he is really leeching on his resources and hard work. He continously tries to get recognition of other's peoples work and to appear as the expert, by repeating statements memorized from other's people's conversations. He acts more like a parrot than as a human. It seems his mental resources are utilised to monitor and leech others, not to live life like other people.
When cornered and faced with his limitations and freeloading tactics, he generally retreats, and waits for the next opportunity to repeat the cycle. When stressed he may burst in a frenzy of ridicule and intollerance towards others, but never admits his faults.
Beware of these people. They can make your life difficult to live in peace.
Example of corporate freeloader
You are assigned on a task by your manager. jason asks the manager to come with you to gain experience and 'learn' something new.
When you are on the task, he stays in a corner supposedly writing notes and does not provide input.
when asked by the manager about the task outcome, he jumps in the middle and speaks as he did all the work. Unkowing managers will get the impression he did all the work, but one that knows better ignores him outright. when this happens he gets pissed and offends him behind his back.
When you confront him that he really did not provide input and was only there to learn he offends you as well. jason then retreats and acts for his next chance, playing the administrative manager's role in the mean time.

Refers to the sexualization of pre-sixteen year-olds by marketeers to sell records. See Britney Spears in 'Hit Me Baby One More Time'.
Originates from 'Branded: The Buying and Selling of Teenagers' by Alissa Quart.
Corporate pedophilia is SO uncool, man.

A seemingly harmless but utterly deadly disease. Characterized by septic infections of chain stores and restaurants over what was once healthy prairie, forest, farmland or wetland on the edge of a city. Causes a swelling of minivans and SUV s and massive hemorrhaging from privately owned small businesses in both city and country. The spread of the fungus is inevitable. It is symbiotic with and related to the housing development.
I'd love to go to that surplus store way out of town, but the whole area has a bad case of the corporate fungus.

Corporate surgayllance is the monitoring of a person or group's behavior by a coworker. The data collected is most often used for snitching, to badmouth others and regularly shared with other employees. It can be used as a form of business "intelligence", which enables the recipient to enhance his/her own perception at the firm.
Steve: Did you see the new Lindsey Lohan pics on the web?
Frank: I couldnt, that asswipe from accounting keeds looking around my cublivcle every time he goes to take a dump
Steve: Kick his ass, his corporate surgayllance is really screwing up your sexlife

One really great band, they really don't deserve all of the teenyboppers saying stuff like "omg i looove something corporate (giggles) they are so awesoeme and their music totally rocks" its just annoying, so can we please settle down and not focus on how "gorgeous" the lead singer is and instead look at how great of a band they really are?
Though Im weak inside
I'm thriving just the same
Still Calling out your name
Wondering who it is that i should blame - wait ( by far a MUCH better song then konstantine ) and stop trying to figure out what konstantine means anyways (teenyboppers) I don't think you have enough brainwaves for that

A more accurate way of saying "corporate fatcat".
Microsoft, SONY, and the RIAA are corporate fatasses who never cared about their customers.

Used to describe a corporation, business or workplace in which the people least suited to running the business, run it. Especially prevalent in large, impersonal fast food chains and restaurants.
The manager was about as useful as an asshole on an elbow... What corporate stupidity!
