What is Kayfabe?
In a business environment, everyone plays their roles as designed and expected.
The natural hierarchy is rarely rocked, due to the fear of sticking out, seeming petty, and of being blackballed.
Vendors over laugh at jokes to secure contracts, CEOs compliment staff in public because they once read something that says to compliment people in public, and nervous account executives overemphasize their local weather to open up zoom calls.
Essentially, everyone does and acts as predicted and as they are supposed to.
Kayfabe is rarely broken.
Yurk: Hey, how is that RFP you are working on, I know it has been taking up alot of your time.
Rick: It has. I feel like breaking White Collar Kayfabe and just telling the prospect how smart they would look to their bosses by going with us, and how their history of stealing ideas from RFPs and labelling them as their own is why other companies don't want to work with them, but I can't. I have to play *THE GAME*.
Yurk: Ya, you definitely CAN'T break White Collar Kayfabe, you would get blackballed in your industry.
