Workplace deviance is a deliberate or intentional desire to cause harm to an organisation. This can be the organisation which employs an individual or an organisation of which they are a member. It is, perhaps, best described as “voluntary behaviour which contravenes the established norms of the organisation and, in doing so, compromises its viability.” Workplace deviance can vary greatly, from minor non-violent misbehaviour to extreme violence, up to and including murder, but any of which causes harm or potential harm to the organisation. Broadly speaking workplace deviance falls into two distinct categories, Interpersonal Deviance and Organisational Deviance. Interpersonal deviance is misconduct which targets specific co-workers and includes behaviours such as gossiping about them, blaming them for things that are not their fault, falsely raising grievances against them and so on. It is believed that these unhealthy behaviours may be due to jealousy of the target co-workers abilities or a sense of entitlement. In other words the misbehaviour has one aim, to benefit the person doing it. Organisation deviance is behaviour aimed at the organisation itself and most frequently manifests itself as frequent lateness or excessive absenteeism. Urban Dictionary

The state of being rebellious to knowledge. Intellectual deviance is most apparant today through the general teenagers' habit of mocking intelligence. "Nerd", "geek", "bookworm", etc. are certain slang-terms used by the populace to describe the intelligent. It is a subcontious fear of being surpassed by those more knowledgeable that causes this mass, ego-induced hysteria. If the knowledgable surpass one man, that man will soon become inferior, and therefore, no longer feel needed. (Feeling needed is the very definition of ego) Urban Dictionary

This is a form of sexual activity/torture that, like most cases of rape, is intent more on degrading the victim, uh, partner, that is, than sexual gratification. It attempts (and most often succeeds) in mentally scarring the victim into worthlessness. Usually, a great deal of disgusting sex acts and maiming occurs. Bleeding to degradation deviance is lies to a politician; hard to complete without. This is performed in a secluded area, never fully in front of a large crowd. Often, the dominant party is male, while the subject can be either male or female. Circumcision is almost a neccessity to construe as dd, and many times, castration will occur. This may also incorporate scat, pissing, s&m/bdsm, and knife-work. This is best performed in the extreme, as a snuff movie. While it is impossible to define every act possible in dd, the subject should be left suicidal for a few days, and will be struck with fear at the mere passing mention of what happened to them. This will make anyone who knows thier history a form of "master", with the ability to scare them into doing as told simply by threatening to release the information, or keep reminding the victim of what happened. Often, the taped occurences of thisare sold for high prices. Urban Dictionary
