Cupertino cuckoo-clock 

When the iPhone of everyone within earshot goes off with an alert or meeting invitation at the same time.
Our VP set off a Cupertino cuckoo-clock when he invited our department to the non-denominational seasonal party.

Cuckoo clocking

The action of announcing the time and number of hours left in a work day at annoyingly short intervals.
"Seven thirty, eight and half more hours until quitting time."
"Stop Cuckoo clocking! Nobody cares how much longer we have to work today."
