Unpack This For Me
RANDOM LINGO
Burning The Midnight Oil
(1). A term that can be taken in two very different ways. On one hand, you are the rockstar employee who works late often to better the firms footprint within your industry. On the other hand, you are that kiss-ass employee who works late often because you don’t have kids, friends, or anything worthwhile going on, which alienates your co-workers. Work is great.
Boss – “Hey Matt, great to see that even on a Friday night you’re still here working and burning the midnight oil, thanks for all your hard work.”
Everyone Else in the Office – “Matt is such a dick.”
Central Casting
(1). Where guys in blue shirts with white collars come from.
“Boy, did you see that guy who just interviewed with us? Right out of central casting! There must’ve been a sale at Brooks Brothers yesterday or something!”
