As a former founder, I used to be invited to do "entrepreneurship training" for some senior employees of large corporations. They'd be given training on the basic entrepreneurship stuff (MVP, lean canvas, rapid iteration), and then encouraged to start their own thing for a few months while still on a paycheck. It was a lot of fun. I sat down with the people we were training for lunch and asked what they thought of it. They said it was very clever. It was a way to get rid of the senior employees who were around for over 10 years and too expensive to legally fire. It was a way to get them to quit on their own will.
