Multitrack Drifting

When choosing between 2 bad things, electing to do both of them at once; a subversion of the Morton's Fork.

The name is a reference to the Trolley Problem, where you are supposed to choose between letting 4 people tied to the track die and pulling the lever, running over 1 person with the trolley and being directly responsible for their death.
Person 1: "If you had to chose, would you rather kill 2 piglets or 1 puppy?"
Person 2: "Multitrack Drifting."
Person 1: "What the fuck."

Process drift

The gradual, often unconscious shift in a work process, system, or organizational behavior away from its original purpose—usually due to routine, habit, or the illusion of progress. Common in corporate, bureaucratic, or tech settings where the system just keeps running… because that’s what it does.
