Hm, 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.


I do like "Rework" a lot! I'm curious if it might imply the concept of "redoing work."
