A change of employment status from a full-time, salaried position to an Adaptive Non-Salaried Position (Adaptive-NS) without the security, benefits and perks usually associated with full time work.
"At least with a layoff, I'd know I was out of work, but apparently this Adaptive Non-Salaried Position (Adaptive-NS) reclassification is supposed to make me think I'm making a sideways move - just without health care, retirement benefits or any notion of a future. Do I look that stupid?"

Rarely the main breadwinner in a marriage, the wife’s contribution to the household income to get a larger mortgage, fancier car, etc. Typically ranging from $30k to $45k, the wife salary also allows for smaller alimony or child support payments when the inevitable divorce happens.
When Tom met with the bank, he was able to explain why - through the wife salary - he qualified for a larger mortgage. Exact same argument when he met with the divorce attorney 2 years later, but the reverse argument in why he didn’t need to pay alimony.

A new phrase meaning. Either you agree to my terms (terms perhaps less favorable to you) or you give up your salary altogether.
Your signature or your salary can also mean either you, as an incompetent federal bureaucrat, resign and take a severance package, or I fire you.
