Comment on When you work for a company owned by a A..hole

We need to start recognizing corporate greed as a mental disorder. This is a company large enough that employees don’t interact with the owner directly, and all the profits from the company aren’t enough for the owner: they also want the pen the delivery guy gave you. It’s a sickness.

The Native Americans recognized a greed sickness in white men. They called it watika, IIRC.

    Yeah the word he spelled came from Hindu meaning garden apparently. Or Africa meaning creative. No ties to America I could find. I guess they sound close

    I spelled incorrectly. It’s watiko, but it could very well be related to the word you found.
    
    Try this link: watiko

  Both derivatives I find of that word come outside the Americas. One from Africa meaning creative, the other from Hindu meaning garden. Where did you see that?
