A deceptive workplace maneuver in which an employee is offered a favor or opportunity (typically a job or promotion) by their boss under an implied quid pro quo—but instead of reciprocating the “quid” directly, the employee skips the middleman and delivers the “quo” to the boss’s boss.

Get the Quid-Pro-Nomug. What folks are saying about Clarence and Ginni Thomas’ shamelessly profiteering Supreme Court decision-for-sale antics.
