Silent Quitting

Based on the term "quiet-quitting", a condition where people quit a job, ghost everyone, with no regard to anyone else at all. A fairly cowardly move, that inevitably is a bad character trait, setting them up for long term failure in their life.

Squirrel Syndrome

The inexplicable desire to constantly chase after every new idea or opportunity, no matter how detrimental to your company, your team or your own sanity.
Bob just launched another product before the last one was even finished. He's completely out of control, definitely suffering from squirrel syndrome.

Hermit Mode

A term used in business for a founder that is completely bogged down with so many tasks and problems, they have no choice but to lock themselves into the office for days, or sometimes weeks. Completely isolated with nothing but their own madness to keep them company.
'If we don't get this stuff figured out, we're going to lose it all. I'm activating hermit mode, I'll talk to you all in a week."
