Desk Promotion

When you start a new job you get given a bad desk and then when someone finally moves on you can take their good desk.
Hey Rakesh, now that Jithu has moved you can finally get your desk promotion!

narcissist promotion vehicle (NPV)

1. A company or non-profit organization set up to serve the egos of its founder(s). All of its activities, while often disguised as doing "good" for society, tech start-ups, the poor, etc., is done to enhance, flatter and inflate the founder's overly important fragile self-image of him or herself.
It's obvious the tech accelerator is solely a narcissist promotion vehicle (NPV). Its website mentions its founder 95 times and only has videos of young women talking breathlessly about its 'genius' founder - - yet 99 % of its 'members' are dudes.

promotion demotion

Being promoted to a position that sucks worse than your current position. Your new title may include such misleading terms as "senior" or "manager" but in fact mean more hours for less pay and a false sense of moving forward in the company.
low guy on totem pole: Hey Stu, congrats on your promotion demotion last week!

Stu: (eyes red, hair greasy, piles of papers in heaps on his desk) Thanks bro, it's great finally being a Senior Manager in the office. I work 70 hours a week now but I'm making $800 more a year and I'm really valued here!

promote

To perpetuate or elevate the status of a person, concept, ideal, organization or the like. Etymology stems from a Middle-English amalgamation of Latin 'pro-' (for) and Middle English 'motan' (allow, must). To offer support for allowance to continue is to promote. The opposite of condemn and dissent.
Roberto wasn't aware that his mass-murder killing spree promoted strong Republican values until Rush Limbaugh offered him a co-hosting role on his talk show.

Promofear

Fear of getting something for free offered from product or service promotions.
Promofear is when companies offer free products or services with no strings attached, just to promote their brands or their products and services, the skeptics start touting doubt about the products or services offered aren't real without even going to their office/store/trade show booths/marketing company stores. Some go as extreme as even emailing the company through their websites to support staff telling that an advertising service was giving away their products for free and it's not real.
