legal career

The process of working in the legal field, whereby a creative mind is whittled down to create a sophisticated but mindless rule follower that is paid to worry about other people's boring problems that no one would otherwise try to fix if it wasn't for the large amounts of cash that temporarily covers the meaninglessness of the once creative mind's new life.

"Did you hear that Bill graduated law school and is going into a legal career?"

"Yea, that poor guy will be a rich divorced alcoholic misanthrope in 10 years."

Career sodomy

When someone takes a Metallica quality person working hard and about to do well in life make people proud and totally fucks the whole program by sabotaging his work and interrupting the flow of creativity because some serious bitch isn’t gonna get chosen cos she doesn’t like her fucking job

That little ring worm piece of shit just got busted for career sodomy for advertising a comment that meant nothing to anyone who didn’t do anything wrong by him

CLM (Career Limiting Move)

An action that won't necessarily get you "fired", but will create a self-imposed cap on your future. An unforced error that leads to the demise of your potential. Similar to black-listing; this is the move that causes you to get silently blacklisted. You're not necessarily gonna get fired, but, you're going to be wondering later on "why do I keep getting passed over for that promotion"? That CLM you made- that's why.

CLM (Career Limiting Move)

Oof, Tom getting hammered and belligerently trash-talking management, puking into garbage can at the company party... real CLM move. His co-workers like him, but management has no respect for him, and have privately said they would never work with him after the incident.
-----
John, you work at a profit-taking hedge fund. You going well out of your way to make your socialist stance crystal clear to management... you're never going to get promoted to manager. CLM. Don't do it, please. Find another way.

Career Path

None really. The only thing I'm concerned with is the cabal of shadowy figures keeping track of everything I say and do. Let me illustrate

Guy 1 (hears me say a thing)--------- Guy 2 (repeats thing I say) This ☝️
Is the only thing in life that I care about. It's worth more than you life, your kids lives, and you wives lives. Guy 1 and Guy 2 do not know each other. How did Guy 1 tell Guy 2 what I said and who is benefiting from this? The answers to these are the only I care about. You will answer the questions.

Hym "That's really all there is to it. That's my career path. Over a couple of bumps and off of a bridge. There the fuckin plan you wanted me to make. A perfectly linear path that takes nothing to accomplish. The benefits to which are eternal. Sounds like a good one to me. What do you think?"

flagging career

A career who is on the decline.

To the cynics, this is simply a case of media-hogging opportunists who have jumped on a voguish bandwagon in order to earn big bucks, indirectly boost a flagging career, or promote a book or movie in the works.
