egology
Doc Searls coined the term “EGOlogy” (as opposed to “ECOlogy”) a little while ago.

[BONUS JOY:] HOW TO GET THAT DREAM JOB:
1. Live in fear. Yes. It’ll keep you motivated. Especially during those crunch time, weekend ball-breaker, gung-ho, go-team, rah rah rah sessions.
2. Be an asshole. Business is all about fucking people over; being an asshole makes it easy and fun.
3. Destroy your family life. Fuck ‘em. All they do is whine, anyway.
4. Preen. Buy stuff you can’t afford. So now that new Armani jacket makes you feel less of an errand boy at the office. Rock on.
5. Invent. Like y’know, new paradigms and buzzwords and blue-sky thinking. Really useful stuff. Exactly.
6. Rebrand yourself as a Lovemark. You know you want to, admit it.

re #3 — fuck em.. they just spend your money on stupid crap like food and toys and stuff. ungrateful bastards!
