A tactic which is performed by a corporation to deliberately put a problem into one of their products under the consumers nose in the hope that month's later the purchaser of the product will have to send it back for repairs thus giving the corporation more money due to fixture payments. This move has most recently been made famous by The Red Ring of Death on Microsoft's Xbox 360
"God Damn it, My 360 got the E74 error! Don't tell me I've gotta spend more bucks for a problem that Microsoft already know is happening!"
"Dude, Don't ya know? It's just another Corporation Tactic!"

Describes the average corporate employee who is chained to an oar (desk) and rows to the corporate drum beat. Similar metaphorically to Charlton Heston (#41) in Ben Hur when he was chained to an oar below the deck of a galley and the manager is pounding the drum with the CEO commanding the speed.
