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."

Work Soulmate

Like a work husband/gf/bf, but so similar in hobbies and knowledge that it is as if they are the same person.
William is my work soulmate because we are both reptile parents, are Eastern European in ethnicity, have the same career path, education and knowledge and have an old soul. We connect on many levels and are supportive to each other at work when others spread gossip and lies.

Austin Work Rule

Fouling around while in a committed relationship is only allowed as long as it is with coworkers. This is considered a “team building” function and helps create trust, respect, and loyalty within a company.

God's Work Syndrome

God's Work Syndrome, or GWS, is the condition where someone is convinced that the work they are doing is of utmost importance to humankind, aka, God's work. Not applicable to situations where someone is actually doing societally important work, i.e., doctors, firefighters etc. But rather used when someone is deluded about the importance of their job in improving people's lives, and feels entitled, ex. entrepreneurs, academics.
"He thinks the VCs should just blindfold themselves and hand him all the funding he needs to run the company, because he's going to give free energy to the masses. That man's got God's Work Syndrome." "My boss just implied that our research project is more valuable than the Apollo program. This guys has some God's Work Syndrome."
