I love that corpspeak exists. It makes it possible for me to make a living.

I am not a native english speaker. I am doing ok, but often I have to google pre-made sentences when I feel that I sound off, but can't figure out the problem by myself. I also lack the natural talent for talking with people online. I am a graphic designer, so my primary skills are in the visual art stuff, and all the speaking and project management is a secondary skill at best. But I couldn't work as a freelancer without it.

Without corpspeak culture I would constantly sound like either a robot or a dummy, and it would hurt my career by a lot. Thanks god everyone in the corporate world already sounds like that. I can just follow this simple set of tropes and pre-made sentences and it all works out well.
