A corporate delusion tactic to feign control, optimism, or progress in the face of complete chaos.
Corporate gibberish for pretending you have control over anything besides your Outlook calendar and mounting existential dread. It’s usually tossed out by a manager trying to sound inspiring while dodging accountability like it's a sport. In reality, it means smiling through chaos, manifesting sunshine in a tornado, and gaslighting yourself into thinking burnout is a vibe. Bonus points if it’s said in a Monday standup while the actual building is metaphorically (or literally) on fire.
"After our budget got slashed and half the team quit, Chad told us to ‘make our own weather,’ so now we’re just crying in Excel."
