Corporate Erin is one of the funniest and most painfully accurate characters on the internet right now — and the comedian behind her, Lisa Beasley, joins Vibe Check to talk about why corporate culture feels so ridiculous.

If you’ve ever sat through a Zoom meeting about “assets,” “deliverables,” and “scope,” this conversation might feel a little… triggering.

Zach Stafford and Saeed Jones sit down with Lisa Beasley — the creator of the viral Corporate Erin character — to unpack the language of corporate America, why office culture often feels like performance, and why so many people are laughing through the pain of their 9AM meetings.

They talk about:
• How Corporate Erin was born from Lisa’s real experience consulting with Fortune 500 companies
• Why corporate speak exists (and who it’s really for)
• The politics of “professionalism” in the workplace
• Code-switching, race, and corporate culture
• Why so many corporate jobs feel like everyone is pretending to work

If you’ve ever been told to “turn your camera on” or email an “asset” instead of a PDF… this episode is for you.
