Man, does the suit thing fire up the alternate universe imagination, though!
Current year, Tokyo. Two promising new hires, Goku and Vegeta, join a large company trying to stay afloat in the incoming economic depression. The two quickly form a rivalry as Vegeta is highly competitive, dreaming of becoming "the Legendary Super Salaryman", a man so excellent at his job that it's said there's only one per 1000 corporations. He intends to use this status to climb in the company's ranks and out-compete their rival corporation, which is run by the powerful tycoon Frieza.
Most of the characters we know would fall into one of the two corporations, either "good" or "evil", but some of them would remain in roles very similar to the canon ones. For example, Chi-Chi would still be Goku's stay-at-home wife. Gohan would be a student/scholar, and Goten would be at school, going to the same school as Trunks. Capsule Corp. is still a thing, with Dr. Brief and Bulma running it like normal. Vegeta married into that family business several years ago and intends to use that position to further his goals. Videl, Pan, Bulla and Marron do exactly as much (little) as they normally do. I could go on, but...
I'm not gonna sit here all day and come up with how you'd repurpose Dragon Ball's stories into a corporate setting, but I know that it'd be possible to do and that it'd have to be a thing where time doesn't pass nearly as fast as in canon. The entire plot could happen over the course of a year. If I didn't have several fanfics already, maybe I'd get on it.
Probably Kanzenshuu's biggest Bulla fangirl. Current avatar: DBU Bulla as Sailor Princess Sadala, based on Sailor Moon: Cosmic Dance
