Very good. No, you don't indulge in corporate-speak.
This past week, my boss asked me to include some "bennies" in my article. I thought it was a drug reference until I suddenly realized that must be short for "benefits." I had the same issue two weeks earlier when she assigned me an article about BTS. I knew she didn't mean the band. I figured out she meant "back-to-school." And when she asked me to add a graph at the beginning of a story, I worried about how I was going to pull that off until I realized she meant "paragraph."
(Sorry, I deleted my previous comment because I realized I'd left out a phrase and couldn't figure out a way to edit it.)
I don't detect "corporate speak" from your writing though, admittedly, it's not something I really look for. I do want to add that for language to be "inclusive", it should use widely recognized terms and grammar. Making up word combinations, though the intent may be good, is not inclusive.

Earlier today someone asked to meet for a TB — which I've since discovered means touch base omg
Good lord, I don’t want to meet anyone for TB!
But maybe you can meet for a TB if it comes with great bennies.

Haha -- It's so inclusive as to be exclusive --
