Sneakflation
When companies reduce quantity and sometimes quality without changing the appearance of the packaging to avoid raising prices, and pass the cost on to less mindful consumers. They may also have hidden fees or changes in services or surcharges that are on top of the retail price, such as shipping cost changes. In some cases, the reduction in quality or guarantee reduces the useful life or makes maintaining the product or service expensive. Social media and streaming services may keep prices lower by adding advertisements. Larger companies may change the terms of the credit card interest rates especially those with the company credit card.
Sneakflation has crept into the streams services where programs are interrupted in the worst way with obnoxious adds, and obscene product placement in movies.

ghostworking
Employees pretending or faking to work just to get through the work day. Can be at home or in the office. In some cases the employee is actually working on their resume or talking to a recruiter from another business, but not for the business they are working for.
Students often try to find a ghostworking job so they can study, or write their novel. But most employers frown on it especially in jobs like security in high security areas - which may seem boring if they are doing their job well, and stopping people who may otherwise be tempted to trespass or steal, if buildings were not monitored.

ICU hires
Political nepotism is back with ICU hires, to assure the government is completely dysfunctional. They have purged the government of highly qualified and successful people. They are now going for ICU hires to assure that no possible good will come from the government.
