About The Chair Theory

Welcome, weary traveler of the internet, to The Chair Theory—a fine establishment where unsolicited wisdom collides with mild existential dread and the occasional practical insight.

Here, we examine the strange, often inexplicable forces that govern business, management, and whatever else we happen to find amusing at the time. We ask the big questions, such as:

• Why does responsibility function like a hot potato in corporate environments?

• What happens when efficiency is pursued to the point of absurdity?

• Can an entire organization crumble under the weight of its own bureaucracy before anyone notices?

Through carefully crafted parables, slightly unhinged thought experiments, and the occasional deep dive into questionable decision-making, we attempt to make sense of the systems that shape our lives—while also having a good laugh at their expense.

We do not offer life-changing advice. We will probably not make you a better leader. If anything, prolonged exposure to The Chair Theory may cause mild discomfort as you recognize echoes of your own workplace in these stories. But if you find yourself chuckling in the middle of a pointless meeting, knowing deep down that none of this makes any sense, then congratulations—you're beginning to understand.

Welcome aboard. Just be sure to move in a straight line.

Why Chair Theory?

Because in every meeting room, there’s always one empty chair—the one meant for the unspoken truth. This publication is that chair.

Sit down. Read. Think. Argue. Or just enjoy the ride.
