A place of work that self-generates a delusional belief that it contributes much more to benefit the society at large than what it actually does. In fact, the company’s delusion can be so grand in some instances, that it actually believes it defines society through it’s own warped lens of the world!
These beliefs are perpetually broadcast to workers through a relentless stream of propaganda communications.
The Island has it’s own special language that one must learn and speak, yet this language has no meaning outside of the confines of the company. It also has invisible geographic boundaries where, once crossed, workers will change their behaviour and demeanour.
Its workers must be prepared to modify their sense of self to comply with company culture. Workers also get measured routinely on their beliefs, thoughts and values to ensure it meets the political idealism of the company - which is usually to preserve the wealth and status of the upper class, suppress and control middle classes and provide unreachable dreams and hope for lower class citizens.
Workers that are not compliant with their beliefs and thoughts are quickly marginalised and chastised by management and often labeled as a ‘bad egg’, or even by quasi-psychological management terms such as ‘rebellious child’. Most workers, however, passively comply and will shuffle along each week and perform their duties like clockwork. They then wonder, many years later, why they feel something is missing from their soul.

Vancouver Island, off the west coast of beautiful British Columbia, Canada. Often mistaken as the slang reference for Australia, this is incorrect.
We're heading to the island this weekend for a rager with my 15 pack of Lucky. Do you know anyone who can boot for us?

When a moment so disappointing you say bruh but a bruh still won’t be able to describe the disappointment so you need an island of bruh to show your disappointment
Person: dude I don’t think ever even liked your sister after dating her for 3 years
Person 2: dude you’re such a bruh island
Person 2: dude you’re such a bruh island

The act of inserting a dildo into a girls vagina and forcing said girl to chug multiple bottles of gatorade. She will then urinate with such a force that it will send said dildo flying across the room followed by a stream of water.

An island that is made up of Jewish Cannibals. They were sent there by the Nazis in WWII, they eventually died off but reproduced. They also are cut away from the outside world. No one goes in, no one comes out. If you try to go there, you WILL get killed and eaten. They are also behind like 4 , so they don't even know what modern technology even is.
