Fufdom is a creative amalgamation of the words "fucking" and "fiefdom". It is best used when enthusiastically articulating that someone is attempting to build a corporate environment that is crazy large.

In this context, "fucking" is an objectionable intensifier (adjective/adverb) meaning lousy, cursed or damnable. "Fiefdom" is a noun meaning estate or domain of a feudal lord, or an organization owned or controlled by one dominant person or group.

For example, "What in THE hell does HE think he is doing, building a fufdom?" Or, "Do you think money grows on trees and I'm just gonna sit here and watch you build a fufdom?" And, "Did you see that org chart? That dude built one heck of a fufdom."

Fufdoms may also be referred to as...empires, Disneylands, kingdoms, dynasties, realms or Death Stars. Of course, fufdoms are ruled by...kings, rulers, sovereigns, czars, magnates, moguls and dickweeds.

Indiscriminate builders of fufdoms have no...sense, patience or budgetary respect. And, they tend to have massive egos. Such behaviors tends to evolve "as people try to exercise control over their workplace environment, protect their domain and avoid change that might upset the present order."

Problems surface when "czars" try to protect turf and reshape the environment to gain as much control as possible. They become fixated on their own activities, their own careers and their own territory or turf to the detriment of those around them. People who create fufdoms become dangerously insular, losing perspective and awareness of what is happening in the world outside of their own control. They also tend to hoard resources and are determined to do things their own way, often duplicating or complicating what should be done company-wide.

Ways to control fufdoms include: Inspire creativity, encourage independence, keep it simple and melt meetings. Another is through communication.
