The brand of speech that the leaders of the corporate world frequently use in long, useless meetings about having other meetings, especially with regard to project and staff performance. Key works in the corporate jive language include hyphenated adjectives describing people, such as "highly- efficient," "self-starter," "goal-oreinted," and "power-user;" and non-commital descriptions of business performance such as "moderately optimistic," "below projected outlook," and "downtrend."
Despite the downtrend in the economy that has shown our revenues to be below the projected outlook, Vassal Company remains moderately optimistic about performance in the next quarter due to the highly efficient staff we have retained.

Two words that don't seem to make sense together; large corporations can and often do use unethical means to gain public trust and their precious capital, for example, building big-box shopping malls on environmentally sensitive land where there may be endangered flora and fauna.
The corporate ethics of some of these food producers in Brazil leave a lot to be desired.

The corporate cock is your boss, or bosses, within a corporate business context.
I hate the corporate cock. If it didn't pay so damn well I would shove this job up his ass.

Use of the public treasury by government to fund private for profit enterprise.
Federal or state funding of medical research, such as that involving stem cells, which ultimately benefits new product development for profitable multinational pharmaceutical corporations.

The kind of person you see getting on or off the train in places like Wall Street, wearing a business suit and sometimes, but not always, carrying a briefcase and/or laptop and listening to his/her iPod. Usually has bloodshot eyes and/or a look of stupor on his/her face because of all the hevonpaska that s/he has to take from the boss and from the spoiled rug rats at home. Also usually heard in boring conversation about stock prices and the Dow index, with one eye glued to the Wall Street Report.
Oh no, another day listening to those boring corporate robots talk on the #6 train!

Person who thinks that large corporations are the best thing since sliced pan
A corporate whore has the following characteristics
>> Works excessive overtime without getting paid extra
>> Beleives that all or most advertising from big corporations is true
>> Actually buys all their cd's, movies, software
>> Is extremely honest when dealing with big companies, eg: when the ATM machine hands out 20 instead of 10 they bring it back because they think the banking industry will suffer if they dont.
>> Refuses to use P2P, linux or any other open source software, only buys music from major labels
>> Easily fooled into buying things from info mercials, diet pills and outrageously prices beauty products that havnt even been proven to work
>> Support their company in every way they can, attend their bosses dinners in hope of getting a promotion even though they are only a measily sales assistant who the boss is ashamed to have at his dinner table and only lets them in because he said everyone is welcome.
>> Is obsessed about the economy even though they dont own any shares.
>> Is obsessed with pop culture, celebrity gossip and does not realise its all bullshit
>> Wears only "fashionable" clothes bought on the high street.
>> Drinks stuff like diet coke and other "light" food and drink because they think it keeps them in shape and dont realise their actually consuming poison like aspartame and a whole list of E's.
Vicki works 80 hours a week at a 40 hour job and has an obsession with buying chick flicks

Job security for middle management.
Middle Manager A: "Hey, check out that new entry-level guy. He was so hot for our corporate culture, I ended up hiring him for about $10,000 less than he deserved."
Middle Manager B: "Hahahahaha!"
Middle Manager A: "Yeah... best part is, whenever he starts getting pissy I make up some bullshit about web 2.0 or dot coms or whatever and he falls right back in line."
