ebb and flow

The give-and-take of any relationship. Taking the good with the bad.
(Charlie Murphy describing his friendship with Rick James): "That was the EBB AND FLOW. It was, you know, he would go over the top, and then I would, you know, check him, and then we would have fun after that. We're still friends, as a matter of fact."

Ebb and Flow

Time and Tide waits for no man. A familiar saying from the days of sailing ships when tides determined departure times. Supposedly a quote as early as the 14th century. Basically means if you've got something important to do, don't procrastinate, because neither time nor tide will wait for you.

EBB DB

The "Employee Black Ball Database" (EBBDB) is a secretive list of employees that should be "blackballed" and never hired.

Purported "offenses" are not public record and cannot be challenged - it could be anything from corporate espionage that the company wants to keep under the radar, complicity in ransomware attacks, to minor policy infractions or even perceived slights and personal vendettas. It could be used for violating peoples protected activities: union-busting, labeling "anti-establishment personality", or how I found out about them - stamping down on the "overemployed" movement. The owners hide behind shell companies. They can somehow links jobs in unrelated industries without TWN.
The EBB DB cost me two salaried IT jobs and is likely keeping me from finding other employment in IT.
