Perfory

The strips of paper on each edge of dot-matrix printer paper.

It's perforated, and it's on the periphery.

Hence, "perfory."
I can't tell you how many times I used to tear the sheet of paper while removing the perfory. I'm so happy they did away with those dot-matrix printers.

Performance activism

When someone uses a “woke” cause to ensure their social media following knows that they care... when actually, all they care about is their influencer status and the amount of like they’ll get.
“Hey, have you seen that Guy is constantly posting about this cause on his feed?”
“Yeah, of course... they have to at least LOOK like they care. Performance activism is his forte. That’s perfect follower material, right there!”

Performance Punishment

Due to a high level of motivation and repeat successes you are selected by your superiors to do more work than your peers because you do your job and good at it. This frequently entails extra hours, multitasking, et cetera. The punishment is that you get to watch the underperformer, who is not doing their job, get rewarded via time off, free time, leave work on time and so on. This is common in the military, other government jobs, or large corporations where, due to bureaucracy, it is difficult to get rid of a bad employee.
Sean isn't a workaholic or a brown nose. Since his coworker Steve does nothing all day long, Sean's performance punishment is that he always has to stay late and take on extra projects to make up for Steve.
