Actually the "Law of Diminishing Return" renamed to reflect the social mores and cerebral content of its enforcers.

I could tell by that appointment to the seat I had kept so warm that The Real Peter Principle had been applied.

Diaper Principle

The Diaper Principle is like a “poo-tastic” metaphor for how some workplaces handle mistakes. 🩴💩 It’s when management, in response to one person’s blunder, makes everyone wear a metaphorical diaper to prevent future mishaps. In other words, instead of dealing with the real issue, they make everyone suffer the consequences of one person’s mess!

Guess what? Karen spilled coffee on her keyboard, and now we all have to attend a ‘how not to spill coffee’ workshop!”
Employee 2: “OMG, that’s the Diaper Principle in full swing! Can’t believe they’re diapering us for Karen’s coffee catastrophe!

Senior Principle Intern

An individual with excessive years of internship at the same company, without receiving a job offer. Almost always is paid at half rate. Deserves little to no praise for work accomplished.

Those papers from the Senior Principle Intern finally arrived on my desk this morning, they are excessively late and faulty.

Principle

Not really. You're defering the cost to 1 or several random families in the hopes that people will continue to lie for you.

Hym "But the best possible outcome for you is that I get what I want. The worst possible outcome is that everything I've said is true. It's not principle that is leading you to do this. You're doing it because you're a retard and that's the same reason you do everything."
