corpo

Dystopian office worker

Corpo is slang for a large corporation or someone who works for one, typically carrying connotations of soulless corporate culture, profit-over-people mentality, or bland conformity.

The term gained currency through cyberpunk fiction and gaming, where corporations wield dystopian power: The corpos control everything in this city.
