It is a negative slang word for a big corporation or someone working for one from the cyberpunk video game "Cyberpunk 2077" by CD Project Red.

ah thx. i think most big corporations are alright. well, speaking about the european corporations atleast.

Yeah, it's a cringy word, that most often probably refers to American corporations. It's very awkward sounding IMHO

i talked with an extended family member who doesnt speak english as L1 and said "brain drain".

he mockingly said it after me. lol so from now on i will lessen my usage of american words. (not brain drain but the new ones they invent over there...)

the US-americans are in our Heads, banish them

a bit overstated but still true. i read too much english anyway.
