Get Me Promoted Methodology (GMPM)
This is the one that I see so often and wish my managers' would recognize faster. Nobody picks up the ticket in the queue that actually needs to get done, but when hackathon comes around somebody's shitty barely working code becomes a huge win for the company instead of recognized for a giant loan of tech debt. Debt that will be paid from the poor schmucks that will actually need to maintain that thing. But hey "I won't be here, you won't be here" is the cornerstone of hockey stick growth.
