Going Corpostal
A blend between "going postal" from the 1990 and corporate notion of the new millennium.
When someone unleashes a cluster of memos and emails, rattling out a company dirty little secrets, bad practices, cover-up and what's not, creating an hemorrhage of blames, firing and demission’s. the concept is often mistaken with the whistle blower.
While the repercussion of the whistle blower are far and wide within the community and is noble, dangerous and serious business, the effect of Going Corpostal is mostly internal - usually contained within a department (if upper management is any good). It is usually the act of a spoiled employee pissed because he was caught red handed in the cookie jar or just about to be caught and willing to burn down the house to avoid being caught.
If I can't have my cookie, neither can you.
Going Corpostal is the equivalent of watching a mud wrestling match- its fun but you don't want to get got in the crossfire.
