Neologism - Corplaining

I don't find that I hear or see that many neologisms (as evidenced by the fact that so many of my neologism posts include reference to the fact that a phrase has often been around for a while) so I headed over to Word Spy to check out a few of theirs. Corplaining I like very much. I spent the last few years indulging in it, although strictly it would be some longer phrase like municiplaining, which is not close enough to the original complaining to be funny or effective. Nevertheless I like there being a word for the type of carping that can become ubiquitous in corporations.
