RANDOM LINGO
Hoteling
(1). The ridiculous corporate practice of punishing your employees by assigning them a new desk each day. One day, you’re sitting next to the hot babe from HR, and the next, it’s Earl from Data Management Tech who likes to sing along to the soft rock station he’s streaming on his Toughbook.
“So, our company started hoteling last month. It’s supposed to foster the exchange of ideas across different areas of the firm. The only problem is – all we talk about is how much we hate hoteling.”
Silver Bullet
(1). A metaphoric ammunition that CEO’s, managers, and business owners alike believe can rectify a major issue a company is currently experiencing.
(2). In their physical form, silver bullets are commonly used to eliminate werewolves….which are totally real.
“Ok, so we found the smoking gun and now we just need to find the silver bullet to fix it so we can all put this whole thing behind us. I swear to God, this is the last time I listen to that janitor down on the third floor who moonlights as a psychic.”
