Company man is a term for the loyal employee of a large corporation that was in use from the early 19th century to the late 20th century.[1] It was often used to describe an individual who had worked for the same company for their entire careers, and whose identity was thus closely tied to their employer.[2] In the context of corporate America, the term was used to describe an implicit social contract that emerged in the 1950s, between a middle-class worker who was willing to sacrifice some measure of autonomy in return for a steady salary from their employer, along with benefits, bonuses, promotions, and a secure retirement.[3][1]
