I chose the name Floutwork to signify flouting the norms of how work is usually done, aiming to break away from the norm to create a more streamlined and effective work environment. "Flout" is also short, like "Slack," so I liked it a lot and just went with it.
- OJFord 3y agoHm, it doesn't really say that to me. Wiktionary has: 1. (transitive) To express contempt for (laws, rules, etc.) by word or action. 2. (transitive, archaic) To scorn. or as a noun ('a flout of work' say): 1. The act by which something is flouted; violation of a law. 2. A mockery or insult. i.e. 'Flouttraditionalworkingprocesses' kind of says what you describe, but is obviously a terrible name. 'Flout work' to me sounds like it's the work itself that you're unhappy with. Maybe something around new/neo/nouveau/re-thinking would be better 'Neowork', 'Rethunk' (edit: 'Rework' is pretty good on a few levels IMO)? I don't mean to hate on it, just feeding back that it was a slightly odd first impression - Reddit's /r/antiwork sort of vibe.
- daniel_sushil 3y agoI do like "Rework" a lot! I'm curious if it might imply the concept of "redoing work."
