The Corporate you

The corporate you is defined as talking to any employee as though they are the business as a whole. Example of the corporate you: "Excuse me, do you have any more of these in stock?"

It is like the opposite of the royal we. Its when you use the word "you" to an employee, but you arent referring to them personally, you are talking about the business using the employee as a stand in, because the corporate entity is not alive and cannot hear or answer for itself
