Corporate bulimia is when companies grow uncontrollably then inevitably layoff people when they miss their growth forecasts. They "binge" via aggressive hiring, acquisitions and mergers, only to then "purge" via planned and unplanned mass layoffs. Results in a perpetually demoralized, depressed and anxious staff of survivors who then repeat the process until eventually the company goes bankrupt or is sold for parts. Rarely a company actually survives this cycle, thereafter attempting to appear healthy to outsiders while employees continue to suffer in silence. The term is an analogy comparing the neurotic growth of companies to the devastating illness bulimia nervosa, an eating disorder. All-too-often found in vainglorious Silicon Valley growth-focused companies.
"Another ten thousand wage slave layoffs were announced today in the latest rounds of corporate bulimia."

Get the World Habitants' Authority and Trust Corporation (WHAT Corp.) mug.This is when a corporation screws you over really badly and your only option is litigation. The cost of legal representation for litigation is tens of thousands of dollars. Therefore, it is almost impossible to find an attorney to represent you if your damages are less than tens of thousands of dollars. Corporations simply use general liability insurance if they are sued. There is no equivalent if you are the plaintiff, which is a very annoying constitutional violation.
I am a victim of corporate rape from xyz corporation, who screwed me over so badly and they spend so much money on attorneys, however, I cannot afford legal representation.

Get the corporate rape mug.A 9-5 office employee that’s a heavy weed smoker and can still deliver their projects on time. They can go out on the weekdays and will function pretty well at work the next day.
They’ll do shit like work from home but really they’re just checking outlook and teams while on the road somewhere. Or they might be gaming and occasionally asking their boss a random question. Pretty fun person to work with though.

I’m not sure why I tried so hard in college. The people that didn’t try as hard ended up in the same place as I am. It’s my turn to chill. I’m in my corporate dirtbag era.

Get the Corporate Dirtbag mug.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
