Here are some useful buzzwords you need if you want a career in corporate:

Yes, they are real. Actual corporate buzzwords. Feel free to google them.

I found them via this Youtube-channel:

"Anti-Hustle"
Translation: A job that allows for work-life-balance.

"NATO-applying"
Translation: A person applies for a job, intending to work precisely as laid out in their contract, and to not put in unpaid extra-effort.

"Quiet quitting"
Translation: The employee works precisely as laid out in their contract, and does not put in unpaid extra-effort.

"Quiet Constraint"
Translation: The employee does not put in unpaid extra-effort to solve a colleague's work-place problem.

"Coffee badging"
Translation: People who work in home-office are lazy bastards who only clock in at their office to have a coffee there.

"Dry Promotion"
Translation: The employee gets unpaid extra work.

"Loud quitting" / "Grumpy staying"
Translation: The employee openly criticizes their job and their company.

"Career cushioning"
Translation: The employee is emotionally cheating on the company by having a back-up plan in case they get fired.

"Rage-applying"
Translation: The ungrateful employee is unhappy with their current job and is sending out multiple job-applications because they want to leave as fast as possible, without a care as to how this might affect the company.

"Overemployment"
Translation: The employee is emotionally cheating on his company by having multiple jobs.

"Quiet cutting"
Translation: The company intentionally makes your job living hell with the goal to motivate you into quitting your job.

"Antiwork" is a great resource for understanding all the crappy conditions workers are being subjected to today. Some of it is just unbelievable.

In the midst of high layoffs, ghost job postings, and application screening software making it impossible to get an interview, companies are treating workers inhumanely.

In today's horror, we learn of a service that helps companies that have laid people off dispute unemployment claims to keep their unemployment premiums from rising.

The US needs mass labor actions. Conditions have become unsustainable.
