Wrong. It has a variety of meanings. Number 2 (below) is what I am primarily pointing at although #1 is not out of the question either. Moak certainly benefited from his "constructive engagement" with management.

cor·rupt

1. cause to act dishonestly in return for money or personal gain.
"there is a continuing fear of firms corrupting politicians in the search for contracts.

2. change or debase by making errors or unintentional alterations.
"Epicurus's teachings have since been much corrupted"
synonyms: alter, tamper with, interfere with, bastardize, debase, adulterate "the apostolic writings had been corrupted"
