That’s How Mafia Works

That's How Mafia Works is an expression parodying Instagram advertisement for the mobile game Mafia City in which a cartoon businessman points to an image with the caption "That's how mafia works". The meme was created and popularised by YouTuber Slazo in the video "Hilariously Bad Instagram Ads" and spread by Slazo's fanbase through the r/slazo subreddit.

Workjacked

This occurs when you complete an assignment, project, or other accomplishment and a co-worker, supervisor, executive or other employee either
a. claims the credit for the work accomplished
b. discredits the work accomplished for no apparent reason
c. requests a lot of useless modifications or asks a lot of pointless questions to make the work seem inadequate

This situation is typically encountered when interacting with people who either do no or little work, have no accomplishments, and or are lacking in grey matter

Working for the Matrix

Working in a place, typically government or large organization, that is highly dysfunctional where one has to choose between the blue pill and be happy, and the red pill and be miserable. It's a reference to the world created in the movie "The Matrix."

Workplace Democracy 

Workplace Democracy is the application of democracy in all its forms to the workplace. This can include voting systems, debates, democratic structuring, due process, adversarial process, systems of appeal. If this sounds a little left wing, it’s because it is and can pose a risk to the organisation as democratic initiatives can be taken over by extremists and twisted so that they no longer conform to their original intent so that the organisation becomes a toxic workplace.

Workplace democracy can be implemented in a variety of ways, which are subject to the size, culture, and other variables of the organisation itself and can vary from a total democratic system to employers asking opinions of employees without taking into consideration their beliefs and opinions.

There is, however, one point to be made, whatever may emerge during the democratic process in a workplace, someone still has to make a decision, otherwise fuck all gets done.
“That heale Malcolm is telling the boss he is entitled to more leave than anyone else, but the boss told him to get lost.”
“That’s workplace democracy for you.”

Unlimited Blade Works 

Reality Marble created by Archer (Fate/Stay Night) that allows him to control a large number of weapons.
I am the bone of my sword
Steel is my body, Fire is my blood
I have created over a thousand blades
Unknown to life, nor known to death
Have withstood pain to create many weapons
Yet those hands will never hold anything
So as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works!

workaround 

(noun) A set of steps used to compensate for or avoid dealing with a systemic problem rather than fixing it.

Typically used in regard to computers or industrial work-flow.

The term "workaround" implies that there should be a quicker, more efficient, or otherwise better way to accomplish things. But also that such improved methods are unavailable due to some circumstances beyond the control of those directly involved.
Computers:
It's been noted that Version 2.5 can not read the files normally produced by Version 3.1. The workaround typically used to solve this problem involves saving the file in an unusual format then manually changing the file extension.

Work-flow:
He was by far the most inept and inefficient person on the team, but the details of his contract made it prohibitively expensive to fire him outright. So his co-workers invented elaborate workarounds to avoid having to deal with him, effectively making his job unnecessary.
