Helicopter Micromanagement

My manager told me she is making a surprise appearance at the meet and greet today. Some people just have to observe everything and anything. I'm surprised she doesn't come to my house to make sure I brush my teeth correctly. Talk about helicopter micromanagement.

Macromancer

A Macromancer is an macroeconomist who makes short term predictions about the economy, ie GDP growth and the stock market in general (while sector specific predictions often involve some degree of industry or subject domain knowledge, hence fall outside the realm of macromancy). Note, individuals without PhDs cannot be called macromancers. They must instead be referred to as acolytes of macromancy.
Bob: Are you still all in on equities? The economist on TV last night said we are on the verge of another recession from the trade war!
Frank: Don’t mind him. He’s just a macromancer. Stay the course and keep investing!
