Office Space'd

Verb - Passive Tense

(Note: The active tense version of this is simply Office Space)

Made famous in the movie Office Space where three main characters from the movie take their printer, which would constantly display "paper jam" when none could be found, constantly roll paper back and forth between rollers, and display the infamous command PC LOAD LETTER, into an empty field and proceeded to break said printer to pieces with baseball bats.

That scanner was nothing but trouble, so I want and Office Space'd it.

Office Kermit

this is the office muppet; leaders throughout the organization will try and surround themselves with kermits, people they can influence, pull their strings, play them at times, have them do whatever and whenever they want. The great leaders will strategically have kermits throughout the company in different cross-functional groups so they can rally them, pull them to take complete control. Some kermits are true losers, born that way and will always be losers, others unfortunately find themselves in this role, and often don't realize it until it's too loate ... they were probably promoted into it, possibly given a title, and may even be well paid, or overpaid ...only to serve as a kermit. Saavy leaders will seek out office 7 irons in the company to serve as their future kermits.
