office 2 iron

another good guy to be or good to have on your team, he can often deliver in tight or hairy situations, he'll make the call, the decision, the play tht others shy away from cause they are shitless. He doesn't waiver, doesn't bull-shit, says it like it is, a real straight-shooter.

Jackson: I can't believe Jones got away with that from Miller.
Murphy: that's because Miller knows that Jones is the office 2 iron, anybody else would have got fired on the spot for making that comment.

Office Sand Wedge

the sand wedge guy, if used correctly, only comes into play when someone else has messed something up, and the sad part is that the someone doesn't necessarily have to outrank the sandwedge, it could be someone inferior in the office heirarchy and still the sandwedge must come in and fix the shit cause he's the only one that can. The thing about the sand wedge is, he's ok with it, he knows his role and accepts it, becasue at some point earlier in his career he was given the big job, the lead position ... and he f'd it up.

Jackson: Dude, I can't believe how bad that went in there, how the hell are we going to recover.
Murphy: Sounds like a job for Peter.
Jackson: Peter, he had nothing to do with this mess?
Murphy: That's ok, he's the office sand wedge.

office remora

the worker who will typically affiliate themselves with somone in power, sometimes the remora may even has assistant or associate in their own title, but not always. The remora never has any original ideas or points of view, and never initiates a conversation ...but once something has been sparked, one their has been a target and an initial death blow delivered by the "heavy", the office remora is 99% of the time the first person to jump in and attack/feed if you will off the strike

Jackson: I hate Drake, he such a remora, did you see the way he beat Jeff down after Miller drew first blood.
Murphy: I know, he's the head office remora.

Office Kermit

this is the office muppet; leaders throughout the organization will try and surround themselves with kermits, people they can influence, pull their strings, play them at times, have them do whatever and whenever they want. The great leaders will strategically have kermits throughout the company in different cross-functional groups so they can rally them, pull them to take complete control. Some kermits are true losers, born that way and will always be losers, others unfortunately find themselves in this role, and often don't realize it until it's too loate ... they were probably promoted into it, possibly given a title, and may even be well paid, or overpaid ...only to serve as a kermit. Saavy leaders will seek out office 7 irons in the company to serve as their future kermits.

Jackson: Did you hear what happend to Lars?
Murphy: No what's up?
Jackson: He's been recruited by Miller?
Murphy: Ooh? To do what?
Jackson: Well after hearing how Lars backed Millers ridiculous idea in the advertising meeting, I'm guessing he is the new office kermit.

office pitching wedge

this is the guy that only makes the call, the play, the decision when the answer is so near, so close, so obvious ... you can practically see the answer, writings on the wall.

Jackson: Really, are you sure you want to go with it now that even the mail boy can make the decision, you're such the office pitching wedge.
Murphy : Right on brother, right on.

office putter

it's good to be the office putter if you can get to that level, he's the guy that only comes out of the bag, that steps in once the project is 99% complete and the work is all done ... so he can step in for the easy tap in and be seen as the one to bring it home, finish the deal, get all the praise and credit

Jackson: Once again Miller plays the office putter and gets all the recognition.
Murphy: Yeah, this will probably get him his 3rd promotion in 2 years.
