The Pyramid of Screaming is a societal rubric that dismisses the parlor tricks of the Chain of Screaming, Scream Ladder, South Beach Screaming, and other methodologies and focuses on the golden rule of scream etiquette: You can only scream beneath you.
The Pyramid of Screaming is a societal rubric that dismisses the parlor tricks of the Chain of Screaming, Scream Ladder, South Beach Screaming, and other methodologies and focuses on the golden rule of scream etiquette: You can only scream beneath you.
To illustrate how it works, here's the scream pyramid for a professional football team:
OWNER
HEAD COACH
ASSISTANT
COACHES
QUARTERBACK
TEAMMATES
PUNTER
The Head Coach can't scream at the Owner, but can scream at anyone else. The Quarterback can scream at his teammates, but not at his coaches. And the Punter screams at no one. He's lucky to have a job.
It's no different inside your office, as exemplified by my own corporate scream pyramid:
CLASSIFIED
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
BARNEY
V.P. SYNERGY
CLASSIFIED
PRESIDENT OF FRANCE
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you find yourself at the bottom, don't fret. The beauty of the pyramid is that there's always someone available to be the new foundation. The janitorial crew, the sleepy-eyed security man, or anyone who doesn't speak English are great places to start.
Example:
Barney: "Hey! Don't yell at me, remember your place in the Pyramid of Screaming."

Get the pyak mug.Any "business" plan that is a scam and completely fake. Usually involves the employee (a.k.a. the sucker) to pay the employer, rather than the other way around. Most notable for the use of the pyramid method of gaining money: you start by suckering one of your friends to dish out his money, then he gets one of his friends to do the same, until all your friends are broke and pissed off at you.
