dead man working

The guy everyone knows is gonna get fired and everyone quietly ignores for fear of getting on the bosses' bad sides, even if he's a great guy.

I was gonna invite Joe to lunch with us, but then I remembered. He's basically Dead Man Working right now. Not worth risking it.

Janine's leaving early again?
She's only got a week left. Dead Man Working. No point kissing up, now.

Phil's getting called in to the Manager's Office. Third time this month.
Uh-oh. Dead Man Working.

I'm just a tool working for the man

When you are a mindless follower of orders given by your boss/supervisor. Just a follower of your boss/superviser and do not think for yourself.

My boss gave me instructions and followed them "I'm just a tool working for the man."

Working Manager

Being a salaried employee, you do more than hourly employees.

Being short on employees, John had to step his game up and became a working manager.

working on my manuscript

when a poet (a creature possessing a distracting amount of sensuality and dazzling magnetism) has successfully seduced his/her intended and is closing the deal.

Hey, Rob, I can't talk now - I'm working on my manuscript. I'll call ya tomorrow.
