trust group
A trust group is a collective masking device formed to conceal each other’s weaknesses. While boasting unbreakable solidarity to outsiders, within it, whispers of anxiety and betrayal writhe beneath the surface. Its slogan is “Let’s trust each other,” yet the real trial occurs not in audits but at after-work drinks. Praised as an infallible solution in boardrooms, it is the first to be doubted when crises recur—a true office cult.
