"Stretch Assignment"
TRANSLATES TO →
"Uncompensated Scope Expansion"
The scope of your role increased. Your title did not. Your compensation did not. The word "stretch" implies development. The math says extraction. If the assignment expanded your deliverables without expanding your pay, it was not a growth opportunity. It was free labor with a flattering name.
They say:
"Culture Fit"
TRANSLATES TO →
"Unpaid Emotional Labor Subsidy"
You were hired for your expertise. You are evaluated on your agreeableness. "Culture fit" is a tax on your personality that never appears in your compensation. It means: perform likability in addition to competence. One is paid. The other is mandatory. That is a subsidy.
They say:
"We All Wear Many Hats"
TRANSLATES TO →
"Multi-Role Consolidation Without Multi-Role Compensation"
You are doing the work of 2.3 people. The company is paying for one. "Many hats" is camaraderie language for a staffing deficit they chose not to fix. Each hat has a market rate. Add them up. That is the gap between what they say and what they owe.

What is inside
Each entry is a four-part economic translation.
01
The Corporate Term. The exact phrase you have heard in meetings, reviews, and job descriptions. The language they use.
02
The Economic Translation. What the term actually means when you apply financial logic. The language you need.
03
The Extraction Mechanism. How the term functions to suppress, defer, or erase your economic value. The math they hide.
04
The Documentation Prompt. One question you can answer today to start building your evidence file. The receipts you keep.
Who this is for
You already know the gap exists. You need the vocabulary to name it.

You have been told you are "valued" while your compensation stayed flat. You have been given "stretch assignments" that expanded your work without expanding your pay. You have been praised for your "impact" in meetings where your name was not mentioned.

The Corporate Extraction Dictionary™ does not fix this. It names it. In economic language. With the precision required to document it, price it, and stop accepting it.

This is the vocabulary layer. The Value Audit™ is the documentation layer. The Dictionary tells you what happened. The Audit tells you what it cost.

The language changes when the vocabulary does.

36 translations. Economic framing. Documentation prompts. No PDF. No forwarding. Buyer access only.
