Counterproductive Workplace Behaviour 

This is behaviour on the part of an employee or employees that works against the legitimate interests of the organisation that employs them or indeed their own interests. This sort of behaviour is detrimental to the organisation, its employees, clients and customers. It is believed that persons with a tendency to experience anger are more likely to respond to a stressful situation, such as being treated unfairly with counterproductive workplace behaviour.
When the supervisor blamed Charlie for his own mistake, Charlie deliberately jammed all three photocopiers in a fit of counterproductive workplace behaviour.

counterparty 

(FINANCE) for a financial instrument, the person/institution who takes the opposite position. For example, in a credit default swap (CDS), the buyer is someone who needs insurance against the possibility that a borrower will default on a loan. In that case, the counterparty is whoever receives the CDS premiums, and pays out in the event of default.
The purpose of financial options is to minimize risk to the buyer; therefore, it creates potentially lucrative opportunities for the counterparty, because the counterparty takes on so much risk.

Counterjerk

The counterjerk is counter reaction to a circlejerk. It occurs when people get too annoyed with a circlejerk and join together with like-minded people to oppose and ridicule the circlejerk. If successful, the counterjerk can overtake the original circlejerk in influence and become a new circlejerk.
For every circlejerk there is an equal and opposite counterjerk.

CounterCraft

A csgo based minecraft game created by some cool guy named Ferullo and passed down to some egotistic, elderly man named Brad. The game is now going into the dumps due to its garbage developers , but has good staff yet they still don't help with problems relating to your money, because they are greedy. Also the game is totally unbalanced and very time they make a bug fix, they end up making a whole lot more bugs in response.
I play CounterCraft and it is garbage.

Person 1: What game do you play?
Person 2: Oh I play some CounterCraft game
Person 1: So it's garbage?
Person 2: Pretty much
