The act of spending company dollars on booze in an attempt to make a work team get on better.
Likely to backfire and actually break down a team due to the free nature of the booze and it's much-loved disinhibition, coupled with an abhorrence of your colleagues. Watch out for a drunkfession, drunkfrontation and an assortment of drunkidity.
Crafty managers have been known to use this as a ploy to remove a disliked employee.
So you understand that your behaviour at the team building exercise was in breach of your employment contract and our code of donduct, so we have no choice to terminate your employment.
(Cheers in next office quickly muffled by bacon & egg rolls)
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
