|
|TESTICULATING
|Waving your arms around and talking Bollocks.
|
|BLAMESTORMING.
|Sitting around in a group, discussing why a deadline was missed or a
|project failed, and who was responsible.
|
|SEAGULL MANAGER.
|A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, cr*ps on everything, and
|then leaves.
|
|ASSMOSIS.
|The process by which people seem to absorb success and advancement by
|sucking up to the boss rather than working hard.
|
|SALMON DAY.
|The experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream only to get
|screwed and die.
|
|CUBE FARM.
|An office filled with cubicles.
|
|PRAIRIE DOGGING.
|When someone yells or drops something loudly in a cube farm, and
|people's heads pop up over the walls to see what's going on. (This also
|applies to applause from a promotion because there may be cake.)
|
|MOUSE POTATO.
|The on-line, wired generation's answer to the couch potato.
|
|SITCOMs.
|Single Income, Two Children, Oppressive Mortgage. What yuppies turn
|into when they have children and one of them stops working to stay home

|to work again.
|
|ADMINISPHERE.
|The rarefied organisational layers beginning just above the rank and
|file. Decisions that fall from the "adminisphere" are often profoundly
|inappropriate or irrelevant to the problems they were designed to
|solve. This is often affiliated with the dreaded "administrivia" -
|needless paperwork and processes.
|
|404.
|Someone who's clueless. From the World Wide Web error message "404 Not
|Found," meaning that the requested document could not be located.
|

|made a BIG mistake (e.g. you've hit 'reply all')
|
|WOOFies.
|Well Off Older Folk.
|
|CROP DUSTING.
|Surreptitiously farting while passing through a cube farm, then
