You can't outsmart what you can't name.

Toxic culture isn't a people problem. It's a design problem.

Outsmart Your Toxic Boss™ is a workplace-culture brand for the people who refuse to just survive the chaos.

Hostile work environments don't happen because of bad people. They happen because organizations are structured in ways that let coercive control, credit theft, and resource hoarding go unchecked.

We don't hand you affirmations. We hand you language, strategy, and a way to see the patterns clearly.

The Corporate Menace™ turns every HR horror story, petty power trip, and corporate buzzword into a card game you can actually play — at a happy hour, a team offsite, or an HR training. You'll laugh before you realize you're learning something too.

The game was developed in consultation with HR leaders, organizational psychologists, and employment attorneys — because this isn't just satire. It's humor that makes you think.

We also run workshops, speak at conferences, and consult with organizations. For organizations →

What you actually get from this brand

• Language for what you've been living. The behaviors finally have names that aren't just "my horrible boss."
• A strategy, not just a laugh. Proof that these office villains aren't as powerful as the bravado they hide behind.
• Something you can bring into a room. A way to talk about workplace dysfunction that people actually want to have — even with the people who might be part of the problem.
• Community. The Little Menaces are people who refused to let a toxic boss have the last word. You're not venting into a void.

Frequently asked questions

What is The Corporate Menace?

The Corporate Menace™ is a satirical card game about ten widely recognized toxic workplace archetypes — the boss who takes credit, the one who gaslights, the one who micromanages into the ground. Players use strategy cards to outmaneuver the villain. Playable at a happy hour, a team offsite, or an HR training.

Who is this for?

Anyone who has survived a toxic workplace and is done pretending the problem was them. Built for the 35–55 year old who has the scar tissue and is ready to laugh about it — or the friend buying them something that finally says "I see what you went through."

Is this only for consumers, or do organizations use it too?

Both. The consumer game is for individuals. Organizations use a workshop version for leadership development, culture training, and HR facilitation. For organizations →

The dysfunction is structural. The education is intentional. The satire is iconic.

The Corporate Menace™ launches on Kickstarter July 29, 2026.
