Michael Gisiger :mastodon:<p>I just coined a new workplace phenomenon: <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/QuietCackling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>QuietCackling</span></a></p><p>Quiet Cackling (n.)<br>The discreet art of maintaining one’s sanity at work by laughing internally — or in whispers with trusted colleagues — at the absurdities of corporate life. Unlike open dissent, which risks a stern email from HR, Quiet Cackling involves a carefully suppressed snigger, a raised eyebrow in the Monday meeting, or the faint sound of stifled mirth behind a Teams microphone left on mute. It is both resistance and survival strategy, ensuring that while productivity may falter, irony never does.</p><p>Feel free to spread the word, I make this available under CC0 (Public Domain).
