Someone else's bonzai tree

Especially relevant in big companies. When you develop an intricate, sought after skill set, but never rise to the level that was possible from your early potential, that may have been/still could be achievable elsewhere.

Zach has a PhD from an ivy league college, and has built enviable experience, but has never risen above director level in the blue chip company he works for. He's become little more than someone else's bonzai tree, and should probably leave, in order to become a red wood.

Hit by a Tree scenario

A scenario, usually brought up at work, in which a tree falls ontop of you the next day.

Usually this is brought up to force you to document your work, so others can continue/finish it if something would happen to you, whether this is you actually dying or you getting replaced by someone cheaper.

Alice: "I just pushed IEEE 802.11mc to the main repo, there is still a lot of work to do."
Bob: "Don't forget the hit by a Tree scenario"
