A corporate term used to describe a common trait of upper executives in a company used to distinguish them from those below them in the management hierarchy. It originally comes from companies who's upper management was only Jewish and followed such customs. The term has evolved to mean anything in common such as alumni of a particular school or league of schools, a sports team fan base, a recreation, religion (which is illegal concerning most labor laws), non-profit charity, political party faction, former employee of an another company, membership in a private social scene (country club, boating club, etc.) or even geographic place of birth. To climb a corporate ladder, finding The Tribe of the company's management is key to get favors from above your immediate boss.
