Jump First, Think Later – A Corporate Tale

Jump First, Think Later – A Corporate Tale

When confidence outruns logic, someone always jumps out with the wrong bag. A satirical look at corporate decision-making where boldness beats brains—and common sense forgets the parachute.

There’s nothing quite like watching someone leap boldly into disaster… with absolute confidence.

In many workplaces, it’s not the lack of solutions that causes chaos — it’s the overwhelming presence of people who think they are the solution.

Like the “Head of Strategic Synergy” who jumps out of a metaphorical (or actual) plane, convinced their gut feeling is a master plan, to save themselves as well of course, only to realise too late they’ve taken someone else’s rucksack instead of a parachute.

This isn’t just a joke. It’s a pattern.

🔹 The doomed project that launches without any thought.
🔹 The reorg driven by someone who just discovered LinkedIn jargon.
🔹 The confident decision-maker who doesn't know what’s in the bag, but sure sounds like they do.

Welcome to Corporate Stupidity™ — where overconfidence outruns logic, and someone always ends up freefalling through a strategy they didn’t test.

Moral of the story?
Check the bag. Ask questions. And never follow someone just because they’re jumping with confidence.

Unless, of course, you're looking for a great story to tell while the rest of us pull the actual parachute.
