management
1. Corporate power elites distinguished primarily by their distance from actual
productive work and their chronic failure to manage (see also suit). Spoken
derisively, as in "*Management* decided that ...".
2. Mythically, a vast bureaucracy responsible for all the world's minor
irritations. Hackers' satirical public notices are often signed "The Mgt"; this
derives from the "Illuminatus!" novels.
