Office Big Bertha

this is the guy that only steps up to the plate when there's little to no risk, nothing on the line and he can just swign away ... typically you'll see him make the call on one of those "win-win" situations.
Jackson: No surprise there, Michelle making the call to go with the Weaver contract... the Norwood contract would have put us all out of business in a week.
Murphy: Well, she is the office big bertha!

office shaman

like any great shaman, the office shaman is the guy with the vision ...but that's all he has to offer..the vision. the end result of what he wants and so desires. 75% of the time, his vision is pure genious, the other 25% of the time it's a wreck, but for that batting avg, everyone respects him. The problem with the shaman, like I said is they offer no path, no solution on how to achieve their vision which creates angst among his followers. The shaman is the one who coined the office phrase "figure it out", from which the other office phrase "WTF" orginated from. The office placebo's ultimate goal is to become a shaman, but it will never happen, cause like I said the office placebo is a complete fraud, does nothing and certainly could not come up with a vision.
Jackson: Wow, that was unbelievable ... I'm so charged up and excited as well as completely dumbfounded at the same time.
Murphy: I know, everytime I listen to Stefan, the office shaman, I feel the same way. The man is genius, but how the hell are we going to reduce expenses by 40% next month without doing away with our bagel friday's that everyone lives for.

Office Placebo

The worker that has everyone fooled, the fraud of the workstaff, appearing to be very hard worker when in fact doesn't really do anything
Dana : Tom was working so late last night, he send me a work email at 11:30pm.
Murphy: Dana, you're so naive, Tom's the office placebo ... he sent that from that club while dancing with the ladies.

Hit-and-Run Question

Another technique used by office placebos, when in for a long presentation, the placebo early on, say in the first 5 minutes drop the initial hit-and-run question, which leads everyone (boss/presenter) to believe he's engaged ... this quick hit allows him to run, slip out, disengage for at least the next 30-45 minutes
Jackson : Boy Adam, I hope my hit-and-run question worked, I really need to slip out of the presentation ... I've got lunch plans with Sophi.
Murphy : Don't worry Jackson, I'm pretty sure it did... didn't you see how Miller took notice, he loves when someone from his team speaks up.
