CORPORLISH™ TRANSLATION:
1) Sugar coating
2) Being indirect
3) Being politically correct
Corporlish™ was founded in June 2009 by a drunken corporate slave after a long session of happy hour for reasons that probably included: venting about managers, passive aggressive behavior, being underpaid, office politics, water cooler gossips, morning cups of coffee, awkward corporate gathering, fake smiles, countless hours of surfing on the internet on company time, fornicating with co-workers, being politically correct, spreadsheets, documents, file cabinets, non-smoking policies, overweight employees, awkward departmental birthday cake gathering, policies and procedures, AND bullsh*t that spills into our personal life.
Our goal was to create a site that revealed the absurd behavior of business professionals and everyone in our lives that lets their professional life spill into their personal lives. However, we don’t want anyone getting fired for their post, but we DO want you to know you are not alone in your dead-end job. Therefore, we ask that you don’t include full names (i.e., first and last name) and only first names and job titles. Furthermore, please refrain from mentioning the company you work for in your interpretation.
Users quote an e-mail, statement, or conversation between someone and interpret the true, or perceived, meaning behind it with CORPORLISH™ TRANSLATION between the quote and interpretation. The post could have happened in your professional or personal life. We reserve the right to post portions of the interpretation without duplicating the entire thing. It’s not because the entire thing isn’t funny, but the funniest interpretation are those we can all relate to, so without the context of the interpretation, they become really funny. In addition, we’re like your managers…douche bags. LOL.
We don’t want interpretations that are offensive to the point of being viciously personal, racist, containing excessive profanity, violent or excessively graphic in nature. We reserve the right to post what we feel is appropriate because we can like your manager.
For more, check out our Terms of Use for full details of our legal policy and frequent asked questions. In short, please recognize that Corporlish.com™, our advertisers and anyone who promotes with us is doing so purely for entertainment purposes. In other words, we’re not your parents, your employer, your manager, your wife/husband, or your probation/parole officer.
If your interpretation isn’t published, not all is lost. We might publish it in our e-book.
