Paperboy

Pronounced: Pay-per-boy
Plural: Paperboys
Pronounced: Par-per-boy-ss

Noun:
1) A person who's job is to deliver newspapers to certain households via mailbox or doorstep. This was a usual youth job in the late 20th century. However, it has fallen out of favor due to the fact that cars exist. During the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's, bicycle was the main vehicle of choice for paperboys. Cars are much faster. This and the fact that newspapers are usually found within boxes that contain the newspaper has made the job of being a paperboy quite rare.
2) A game released on several early consoles, early computers, and an arcade machine. The game consists of riding a bicycle and throwing papers at customers. The game was released in arcades, and began to be ported to other systems starting in 1986. Paperboy was ported to the BBC Micro and Acorn Electron (1986), Commodore 64 (1986), Commodore 16 (1986), Amstrad CPC (1986), ZX Spectrum (1986), Apple II (1986), TRS-80 Color Computer (1986), MS-DOS (1988), Apple IIGS (1988), NES/Famicom (1988) (1991, Japan), Game Boy (1990), Game Boy Color (1999), Atari ST (1989), Amiga (1989), Atari Lynx (1990), Sega Master System (1990), Game Gear (1991), and Sega Mega Drive/Genesis (1991) (1992, Japan). The internet celebrity James Rolfe reviewed Paperboy on his 140th episode of his series "Angry Video Game Nerd".

Paper Shaker

A paper shaker is a person who always seems to be busy at work but doesn't get anything done.

Paper shakers will arrive to work early and leave late to create the image that they are always working. Paper shakers exhibit all the worst examples of presenteeism. They will work when sick to make a show of it.

A paper shaker will prescribe more work as the cure for whatever ails any project. This sermonizing will never result in any new actions or change on their part. Paper shakers already see themselves as working harder than everyone else.

Don't confuse a paper shaker with a hustler. A paper shaker may see themselves as a hustler and try to create this impression. They might have a coffee mug or t-shirt that says some catchphrase like "always hustlin'" for example. At heart, they are lazy sycophants.

The term "paper shaker" comes from the idea that they always have some "proof of work" handy. Vampire hunters carried garlic to ward off evil and paper shakers have busy work to ward off actual work.

Dealing with paper shakers from a management perspective is simple. Once identified, check in with them often. Set goals with them and see where they land. Ask them what they are working on and direct them away from their own busy work. This should keep paper shaking to a minimum.
