Wankathon

An extended, usually corporate, self-congratulatory gathering, as a substitute for doing something for real.

Manager: How can we motivate those programmers to keep working 12 hour days for decreasing pay?

HR Consultant: The most effective way would be to organise a wankathon in a cheap conference centre making out we value their views on agile development and shit like that.

Manager: How cheap?
