Named after the Muppet character Beaker, a Beaker Moment is a series of actions that a normally level headed
individual will exhibit when reaching a heightened level of stress or agitation without being able to constructively control the outburst or by failing to seek assistance in dealing with an increasingly convoluted situation.
The end result can encompass adverse, out-of-character, uncontrolled outburst in the form of incoherent mutterings and sounds, accompanied by aggressive, multi-directional emails that incite and spin up other parties often spurring on
inquisitive looks and head scratchings.
Ultimately a very uncharacteristic outburst of outright
frustration, paranoia, and severe agitation.
