The inability to create any meaningful effort at creating a brand - despite brand creation being a company's only hope at success - leaving the brand floating in the ether. Not making progress, not making mistakes. Just existing in a space that humans cannot see.
Bob hasn't done a thing for that company, idk how he hopes to make it. He's just floating around in brand purgatory, hoping for a miracle.

It's that place between life and death, depending upon how quickly you die is how long you stay in there. It is where you are between lives and can see the future and are still in the past. Just waiting to pass into the future, but you want to hold on to the Past.
My grandma was in purgatory for about a week before she passed on. She could see us hear us and correspond with us, yet she could see here and correspond with those that had passed before her. She was in between worlds, just waiting for everyone here on Earth to be okay for her to pass on. And when she did, there was no communication with us, it was just the afterlife. I saw her talking to her husband, who had past 3 years prior. I heard her talking to my father who had passed 23 years prior. She was in between worlds, and she didn't know where she belonged. It just took the final cousin coming home to say goodbye before she could truly leave us and pass on.

Lobby Purgatory is when you're playing a game and you're stuck in the game's lobby for huge amounts of time or even forever. Most common game for this to happen is Landfall Games' April fools 2018 joke "Totally Accurate Battlegrounds"
Jim: Why hasn't the game loaded yet?
Bob: You must be stuck in Lobby Purgatory.
Jim: *leaves game*
Bob: OH GOD STOP
Jim: *dies*
Bob: *dies*

When the temp tyre is just cold enough that it needs a jacket, but you become too hot when you put it on. Thus begins the cycles of taking the jacket on and off to remain comfortable

A place where souls go and wait to be judged by St. Peter. Think of it as a waiting room, or a personal realm to roam in until called.
Ex: Beetlejuice waiting for his number to be called.
A lot of times spirits/souls get lost or distracted on the way to the light and get stuck .
Just like the soldiers of the Civil War they are doomed to live their entire afterlife in an endless loop for all eternity.
Some were afraid of GOD or not religious enough, or came from families that didn't practice.
In Mexican Culture.....like CoCo....if you don't have family prayers to remember you that alone will keep your soul bounded to Earth.
Souls/Spirits need prayers and guides to help them to the light.

The lost soldiers are doomed to be in Purgatory if someone does light a candle for them to find their way to GOD.
