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.

working hard or hardly working

singlehandedly, the stupidest phrase i have ever heard. it is not funny when used to a student and it is not funny when used to a coworker. you are not witty, you are a dumbass.

first off, there is no way that you can in any way compare working hard to hardly working. how can you confuse the two? you can't.

second off, if you have in some way found a way to a management position and use this phrase, someone in your office is going to send you a big bag of poop.

thirdly, it is not a pick up line. a pick up line is, "hey baby, do you have any black in you? you want some?" this does not compare.

fitzgerald: hey sexy mama, working hard or hardly working?

helga: go fuck yourself.

fitzgerald: okay.

working by the hour

When you see a truck going 10-15 miles per hour under the speed limit, it's a good bet the driver is being paid hourly and not per job. Also, the job is probably unpleasant so getting to it is not a priority.

No wonder traffic isn't moving. That sewer pump out truck driver is working by the hour.
