Career Limiting Brisket

When you're at a business meal, and you order WAY too much food (kind of on accident), giving the appearance that you're wasteful, frivolous, and care nothing about those who are less fortunate.
Did you hear what Dan said in that meeting? That was some serious Career Limiting Brisket

Career Limiting Move

An avoidable, abhorrent action likely resulting in embarrassment, shame and banishment from an industry.
After 30+ Horse racing drug violations, Bob Baffert’s penultimate CLM Career Limiting Move was getting caught cheating in the 2021 Kentucky Derby, getting the winning horse disqualified. Bye Bob.

current limiting interrupter

Pronunciation: /ˈkɜ rənt ˈlɪmɪtɪŋ ˌɪntəˈrʌptər/ (Standard American English pronunciation)
Definition:
Current Limiting Interrupter (CLI) (noun) - It is an electrical protection device designed to automatically terminate a circuit’s conduction upon detecting an excessive electrical flow while also restricting the magnitude of that electrical flow during the termination sequence.
Significance:
• It defines a type of electrical protection device.
• It emphasizes its function of both limiting and interrupting the electrical flow.
• It identifies the protection it provides contrary to excessive current.
• It avoids the use of prohibited origins within possible definition parameters.
• It improves comprehension of this specific type of circuit protection.
• It replaces more verbose descriptions of the device.
Examples:
• “The current limiting interrupter activated, preventing damage to the equipment.”
• “A CLI is essential for safeguarding sensitive electronic components.”
• “The engineer installed a current limiting interrupter to prevent power surges.”
• “Current limiting interrupters improve the endurance of this device.”
• “It is important to install Current limiting interrupters.”

voltage limiting interrupter

Pronunciation: /ˈvoʊltɪdʒ ˈlɪmɪtɪŋ ˌɪntəˈrʌptər/ (Standard American English pronunciation)
Definition:
1. Voltage Limiting Interrupter (VLI) (noun) - An electrical protection device engineered to automatically terminate a circuit’s operation when it detects increased electrical voltage.
2. While simultaneously restricting the magnitude of that electrical tension during the termination course.
Significance:
• It defines an electrical protection device.
• It emphasizes its dual function of restricting and terminating voltage.
• It identifies its role in safeguarding contrary to excessive voltage.
• It avoids prohibited word origins.
• It improves comprehension of specific circuit safeguards.
• It replaces lengthy descriptions.
Examples:
• “The voltage limiting interrupter engaged, preventing damage to the machine.”
• “A VLI is vital for defending delicate electronic devices.”
• “The technician implemented a voltage limiting interrupter to avert power spikes.”
• “Voltage limiting interrupters upgrade the durability of this apparatus.”
• “It is important to introduce voltage limiting interrupters.”

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.
