Christian Work Ethic

Form of management practice, where all workers are driven to maximise output without any incentive except that of keeping thier jobs.

So-called because, as in Christanity, any rewards you wearn will only be recieved after you are dead.

" I'm working a ten hour shift, and the bosses ahve cut our bonus and refused to hire on replacement staff; They are now promoting the palce as having a Christian Work Ethic"

work hard play hard

Attitude (often motto) present in many elitist or successful groups of people especially at wealthy, elite private schools, expensive highly-ranked universities, and among yuppies. Basically means that one works hard at school or their job while they also party on the weekends (or weekdays as well, depending on how far they take it).

Stupid because it basically provides an excuse for mindless partying directing one's life without any space for taking anything seriously in the world.

Sometimes leads to side effects like alcoholism. Usually outgrown as one gets older.

Work zombie

An employee who experiences a loss of consciousness that can go on for hours or days. In this state, he or she will have no memory at all of the work he or she performed. Also known as work autopilot and work robot, these are usually people who feel that they have no future in their own company. It is believed that the "lost" time is spent in internal calculation so as not to allow the brain cells to atrophy.

"Jones, you cretin. What were you thinking? Were you paying any attention at all to your work?"

(In a fog) "Sorry boss. I must have become a work zombie. "
