Corporate Tortograph Theory

Corporate Tortograph Theory states that in the world of late-stage capitalism, the human impulse for creativity has been channeled so exclusively towards marketing that almost any absurd collection of words, names, or syllables is likely to coenside with a real-world entity, person, or organization of some sort, often in the corporate sphere.

“Jesse, I typed “Gortco” into Google and came up with a page for a random Norwegian company… just another proof for Corporate Tortograph Theory.”

corporate trivia

Local chains of trivia hosting whose most common venues are sports pubs or chain restaurants. May also include non-chain restaurants. Format is broken into short rounds, with frequent breaks to make the trivia seem longer without writing lots of questions. Instead of giving the whole night or category a theme, each question is random to provide maximum generic appeal. The host is picked not for their interesting question writing skills, but for their radio-style personality.

I spent 2 hours at a corporate trivia last night and had to drink 4 drinks out of boredom while our annoying trivia host individually graded one question at a time, written on their logo'd trivia notepads. Waste of time and paper.

Corporate bulimia

Corporate bulimia is when companies grow uncontrollably then inevitably layoff people when they miss their growth forecasts. They "binge" via aggressive hiring, acquisitions and mergers, only to then "purge" via planned and unplanned mass layoffs. Results in a perpetually demoralized, depressed and anxious staff of survivors who then repeat the process until eventually the company goes bankrupt or is sold for parts. Rarely a company actually survives this cycle, thereafter attempting to appear healthy to outsiders while employees continue to suffer in silence. The term is an analogy comparing the neurotic growth of companies to the devastating illness bulimia nervosa, an eating disorder. All-too-often found in vainglorious Silicon Valley growth-focused companies.

"Another ten thousand wage slave layoffs were announced today in the latest rounds of corporate bulimia."
