Definition: The act of deliberately wearing extremely casual or inappropriate attire (like a bathrobe) to virtual work meetings as a passive-aggressive strategy to get fired after coming into secret wealth, thereby avoiding the need to quit outright and raise suspicion. It’s a slow-motion resignation fueled by newfound financial security and a complete lack of fucks left to give. The goal is to make your disengagement so painfully obvious that management has no choice but to cut you loose, providing plausible deniability for your sudden departure while secretly celebrating your liberation. It turns the mundane horror of Zoom calls into a performance art piece of liberation.
Example: “Ever since that ‘lucky lottery scratch-off’, Dave’s been full Zoomrobe mode. Yesterday’s stand-up featured him eating cereal straight from the box in fuzzy slippers. HR’s ‘professionalism reminder’ email practically wrote itself.” “I’m aiming for the Zoomrobe hall of fame next week – thinking silk pajamas and a mimosa during the budget review. Let’s see how long it takes them to pull the trigger.”
