American companies
I briefly worked for one, and learned all kinds of exciting new words, including 'webinar' - also 'town hall' = meeting of everyone in the company; 'right-sizing exercise' - redundancies. I can't remember the others, but it really did take some of the pain out of bad news to hear all the made-up terms they used to describe it. Oh, and they loved the 'bus' analogy - you know, "we're making changes and you're either on the bus with us, or being left behind".

Also, our induction included a song about integrity. I heard that during the AGMs in the US, our glorious leaders would enter the stage to the sound of our integrity anthem. Special times.
