What’s the word for the ecstasy you feel in your last two weeks working at a company you hate? Or the word for when your boss avoids providing expectations so that you can’t fulfill them in order to demonstrate that you deserve a raise? What about when you coordinate with a friend to call out sick specifically to spend the day together playing hooky?

I liked it, however it's not just related to American corporate, I see it related to other cultures as well.
Sometimes found it represented some of my feelings in the past...
Cons: it's very short description of the term and short example as well. No solutions of fixes have been discussed. So use it as reference to be aware of these feelings/trends inside the corporate world.
