How It Helps Your Business English
Thirteen current corporate terms are presented in two groups: words for describing colleagues and managers, such as corporate villain, work wife, polymath, desk-bomber and social loafer, and words for describing ways of working, such as hustle culture, purpose-driven, proximity bias and career cushioning. Each entry has a definition, an example sentence and often a note on its origin.
Read the definition and the example together, then say the example aloud so the phrase sounds natural when you meet it at work. The notes tell you where a term came from, which makes it easier to remember and to judge the tone it carries. Watch the video lesson for the pronunciation, and use the two groups to find a precise word when you want to describe a colleague or a way of working.
