Self inflicted complaint blockage

The reluctance to report a serious work issue for fear that those reading or hearing the complaint will view the issue as petty. The complainant fears that he or she will be viewed forevermore as a sniveling weasel. The result is that the issue will remain unresolved until it takes on another unrelated dimension that is extremely damaging to the workplace. At this point, another worker will report the original complaint and will be given full credit for saving the company.

Worker 1: "I think that we have to let people in HR know what Stacey and Ed have been up to. She's getting away with murder. She's using him, he's letting her and both of them are married anyway."

Worker 2: "There's no way I'm going to bring up favoritism and their adolescent extramarital dalliances to HR."

Worker 1: "Self inflicted complaint blockage?"

Worker 2: "You got it."

Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound to the Head

How many people end their lives. Used mainly by people who have listened to too much emo. Can also be used by people who have had to endure many long hours of Mr. James Hartman's class, or sit through Ms. Rheude's band.

Goddamn! I'm so sick of this shit! I think it's time for me to kill myself. I shall utilize a Colt .45 Automatic pistol, and this should effectively create what the medical examiner would refer to as a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

Self Inflicted Stress Syndrome - SISS

There’s well enough stress out there, but people often add to that e.g. by leaving too late for an appointment and get stressed-out in traffic, or study too little too late for an exam.

I had a severe case of Self Inflicted Stress Syndrome - SISS this morning: drank too much last night, overslept, couldn’t find my keys, got on the road too late so got stuck in traffic and in the rush forgot my phone.
