Corporate Bullshit

If you're working or have worked for a big corporation (well it does not have to be a corporate beemoth, just above hundreds you'll see this effect), you may notice that at some level there is much of non-sense and hollow corporate, bad-smelling marketing around.

For instance, have you noticed the number of bureocratic departements that start being created in ivory towers? These departements should exist to serve the general corporation. But, when badly managed, they just become blocking forces, a simple wast of money and a nice idea that was totally desvirtuada.

Or the number of signatures you need to buy a computer that is simply different from what is the corporate standard? What if you need it for a very specific purpose that is of particular business relevance?

Well, for me the above examples are part of a much wider group of sintoms that form the holly corporate bullshit bandwagon.

So, because we, corporate employees, have to work with such an environment, whatch our holly corporate bullshit bosses earn much more money than we do and be at work happy and yet contribute to actually make money and try to keep our corporate boat floating, we need some corporate entertainement!

My idea is to create a company that will go to the corporate open space and stress out a bit some of the things. They will be actors, like street entertainers, and they will play with the corporate values and provide amusement related to the work domain of the corporation.

An example might help... – I work for a software development company. It would be nice to have some day guys comming there dressed as bugs (software errors), who would sit next to people, scratch their heads. Also, you could have some guy with a mask of Bill Gates, running after such characters with a spray. This is somewhat related to the book about management, where a manager gets inspiration from a fish market.

I know that there are already such things as corporate massages, companies which services are to go to a corporation and give massages to the employees. My idea follows these lines, but, it would be a way for stressing out with some big laughs. Of course it must be more carefully prepared, since the jokes have to be funny and you might clash with some stressed out guys with a deadline for yesterday (yeah, these kind of things exist)!

If some company provides such a service, it must have inside connection, to enable specific domain jokes. Like, I know some things that might be funny for the software development industry. I don't know what could aply in banking or big telcos. For this the Corporate Bullshit needs to have some good inside information that helps them prepare the jokes and costumes.

I already thought about a nice logo, a shit with a tye :-))
