I just coined a new workplace phenomenon: #QuietCackling

Quiet Cackling (n.)
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.
