Literally means a change of manager: in colloquial terms it is used in the event of someone who is seen liberating people from a tyrannical leader, only for the liberator to end up continuing the tyrannical reign, whether directly or even worse than before.
Originates from the memetic line in Megamind where Tighten says to a bystander thanking him from freeing them from Megamind that "I wouldn't say freed, more like under new management"

Get the under new management mug.Identity-Facet Management (IFM) is a systems-level framework for the intentional design, organization, and governance of multiple facets (contextual, functional, or role-specific expressions) of a single, continuous identity within a unified control structure.
In IFM, identity is treated as a stable core entity that manifests through distinct, purpose-bound facets, each with defined capabilities, constraints, permissions, and operational scope. Facets may operate concurrently or asynchronously but remain coordinated through shared authority, traceability, and continuity of identity. They do not constitute independent identities and do not possess autonomous ownership of memory, agency, or selfhood outside the governing system.
IFM emphasizes intentional partitioning rather than involuntary fragmentation, prioritizing explicit control, auditability, reversibility, and synchronization between facets and the core identity. Implementations include mechanisms for facet creation, activation, suspension, revocation, and reintegration, as well as policies governing information flow and decision authority.
The framework is domain-independent and applicable to engineered systems (e.g., AI agents, distributed cognition architectures, digital twins, access-controlled personas), organizational role design, and human–machine hybrid systems. IFM does not describe psychological dissociation or clinical phenomena and assumes preserved continuity of self across all facets.

"After burning out from juggling my online persona and legal profile, I started treating it as Identity-Facet Management, and everything got cleaner."
