Congratulations. You’ve found theSludge.report — a publication not yet cancelled by the sprawling, absurd, soul-crushing machinery of institutional ossification.

Here, I document the tragicomedy of these institutions, and the well-meaning "people" inside them slowly being ground into paste by mandatory training.

If you've ever:

• faced down a litany of inexplicable error messages in the newfangled HR app,
• watched business development write a check you know you're weekends and sanity will have to cash,
• Or get ping-ponged between one "teammate" after another basically saying "go ask your mom, I'm tired",

...then you, dear reader, have faced the Sludge.
