narcissist promotion vehicle (NPV)

1. A company or non-profit organization set up to serve the egos of its founder(s). All of its activities, while often disguised as doing "good" for society, tech start-ups, the poor, etc., is done to enhance, flatter and inflate the founder's overly important fragile self-image of him or herself.
It's obvious the tech accelerator is solely a narcissist promotion vehicle (NPV). Its website mentions its founder 95 times and only has videos of young women talking breathlessly about its 'genius' founder - - yet 99 % of its 'members' are dudes.

Being promoted to a position that sucks worse than your current position. Your new title may include such misleading terms as "senior" or "manager" but in fact mean more hours for less pay and a false sense of moving forward in the company.

Stu: (eyes red, hair greasy, piles of papers in heaps on his desk) Thanks bro, it's great finally being a Senior Manager in the office. I work 70 hours a week now but I'm making $800 more a year and I'm really valued here!
