Karen Work Culture

noun: A workplace environment characterized by behaviors and attitudes similar to those stereotypically attributed to a 'Karen.' This culture includes employees' strong sense of entitlement, a tendency to escalate minor issues to higher management, and frequent involvement in HR complaints over trivial matters.

Karen's Work Culture is marked by a collective adherence to specific social norms, prioritizing personal inconvenience over team collaboration and productivity, often resulting in a toxic work environment filled with unnecessary disputes and micromanagement.

"The Karen Work Culture at the office has made it difficult for anyone to introduce new ideas without facing immediate resistance and a barrage of complaints to HR."

Skunk Works

"An insane asylum disguised as an aircraft factory"
-Lazerpig

Not wanting to task all their proven engineers to pursue an experimental jet fighter project during the manufacturing boom of WW2, Lockheed basically went on the prowl to find aircraft engineers of questionable sanity, stick them in a circus tent, painted a cartoon logo, told them to crack on with it, and called the outfit Skunk Works.

consequential work

Work that is discovered while original work is in progress and immediately takes priority over your original intent. Consequential work involves significantly more effort/time/resources than the original work required.

So I was painting the kitchen, when a chunk of the wall comes right off in my hand because hornets had built a nest and chewed right through the drywall. Luckily, the hornets weren't home, but I'm gonna have to get rid of the nest and patch the drywall before I can finish painting. Nothin' like consequential work, damn it!
