burn and turn 

A management practice that uses middle managers as scapegoats to perpetuate existing conditions. In situations where senior management and workers are invested in retaining current practices and customs a middle manager will be tasked to "Cean things up". However, the manager will meet passive aggression and mobbing from both superiors and subordinates that socially isolates and frustrates all but the most basic changes. After the middle manager is "Burned Out" and frustrated after a period of time, the manager will either quit or be fired for ineffectivness. In this way the status quo is maintained and blame can be assinged to the middle manager for failure. A new middle manager will be hired and the cycle will repeat itself. This is the turning phase

"Don't go to work at that hospital-not even Jesus himself could fix that place. It's strictly burn and turn".

turn and burn 

This is military fighter pilots' jargon. When the last missile is fired or when the ordinance has been dropped on target, it is then time to quickly get out of the area-of-operations. The pilot turns his plane towards base and shifts into after-burner. This has since been adopted by the civilian community to mean when a decision has been made, especially if it was a poor decision, you forget about it and press on with the next phase of the mission.

Man, flak was hairy out there so as soon as I dropped my load, it was turn and burn time let me tell you.

I had three on my ass. I braked, banked and ended up on the tail of one. I pulled the trigger and his wing just exploded. I lined up another, got tone and fired a sidewinder up his exhaust and he was gone! The third one ran for home so just befor turn and burn, I fired another missile in his direction."
