Get the Scrabble Sheister mug.the person whose job it is to fire or lay off fellow employees in a company. It is usually a human resources employee, doing the dirty work for the owner or president of the company. They break the news to you, get the appropriate papers signed, make sure you clean out your workspace (not taking off with any company property), and see you off the premises.
While a company hatchet man may have some input as whether or not you get the sack, they do not make the final decision. They are acting on the boss' behalf, and such responsibilities are covered by their salary. Therefore they are like a workplace hitman, getting paid to finish people off for the higher ups.

Get the hatchet man mug.Someone hired on the basis of nepotism: when relatives or spouces of company employees are preferred for new hires. Companies assume that the relative of a stable, responsible employee will have a similar work ethic, so rather than take a risk on time-consuming resume reading and interviewing with outside hires, they will simply nepo hire. An HR cop-out.
Did you meet the new guy? He's John's step-brother.
Yeah, I heard they didn't even call his references or require a drug-screen test. He's a total nepo hire.

Rednecks live their entire lives in the same area, usually rural, as there is too much diversity in cities. They tend to keep the same opinions as their parents and grandparents; family values and bigotry alike are passed down and kept alive through the younger generation. A lack of taste (in clothing, housing, decor, tv shows) is common, but not a fast rule. There are rednecks in every country, but they sometimes go by different names depending on region.
