Know Enough To Be Dangerous
(1). A term used when an individual isn’t an expert in your particular field, but knows enough about it to get you in trouble when you screw up.
“So Scott, I’m certainly no IT expert, I mean, I know enough to be dangerous, but don’t you think setting the password to the server as “server password” could have led to that virus? Boss wants to see you by the way.”
Out of Pocket
(1). Paying for some work-related expense yourself with an expectation that your company will pay you back…in six to eight weeks…maybe.
“Okay, Alicia…here are my receipts for my Atlanta trip. I had to go out of pocket on the cabs to and from the airport. What do you mean that looks like my handwriting…? Just process the lousy reimbursements, please…”
(2). Not being reachable by email, phone, text, etc.
“I’m out of pocket for the rest of the day.”
