To gain significant advantage or make one's way through the world by exploiting social dynamics, state institutions and weaponising the law (usually to the detriment of moral but naive others).
Cindy: "I'm so over my farting, snoring husband, but I need him. How about you?"
Jelissa: "Well I have no problems. I lined up a guy via Internet dating from the other side of the world, he knocked me up so I could have my baby and he's out of sight, out of mind. He pays me child support off the record out of guilt, and I get special single mother benefits. Then I married Enrique, but divorced him after four years for a payout and alimony. These days I just do what I want!"
Cindy: "Wow, you have it all worked out, don't you?"

God's Work Syndrome, or GWS, is the condition where someone is convinced that the work they are doing is of utmost importance to humankind, aka, God's work. Not applicable to situations where someone is actually doing societally important work, i.e., doctors, firefighters etc. But rather used when someone is deluded about the importance of their job in improving people's lives, and feels entitled, ex. entrepreneurs, academics.
"He thinks the VCs should just blindfold themselves and hand him all the funding he needs to run the company, because he's going to give free energy to the masses. That man's got God's Work Syndrome." "My boss just implied that our research project is more valuable than the Apollo program. This guys has some God's Work Syndrome."

This is a phrase that a humble boss would use when they have no idea how to help and want to confess that they are an absolute idiot and to apologise for putting you in a situation where you will probably get sick from stress and overwork.
"I can't believe you agreed to that. There is no way we will get it done in time."
"Work smarter not harder."
"Ok, it isn't your fault that you are a moron. I accept your apology."
