seagull manager

A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything, and then leaves.

Fred never accomplishes anything. All he does is come in here every now and then, complain about deadlines, puts more work on us, then goes back to surfing the intraweb. He's such a seagull manager.

adminisphere

The rarefied organizational layers beginning just above the common worker. Decisions that fall from the adminisphere are often profoundly inappropriate or irrelevant to the problems they were designed to solve. This is often affiliated with the dread administrivia, needless paperwork and processes.

Fred's boss's boss came up with another useless idea, that resulted in Fred having even more responsibilities, prompting Fred's coniption fit.
