Management By Green Dot

When someone manages a work-from-home employee by checking that their status in a chat application like Slack, Microsoft Teams, etc., hasn't shifted from a green dot signifying "Present/Available" to an orange, yellow, or red dot signifying "Away", rather than by measuring things like quality and quantity of work output, whether deliverables are met in a timely fashion, customer satisfaction, etc.

With the explosion in employees working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020+, many managers who had been accustomed to prowling cube farms and looking over their employees' shoulders to make sure they were working, resorted to this technique.
"My manager totally does management by green dot. I got yelled at for being 'Away' on Slack yesterday morning because I had to spend half an hour on the phone with my kid's school. I'm going to have to get one of those mouse jigglers."

green screen of death

A green screen that Barney will give you if you are mean to him, or he does something that he wasn't supposed to do, in which you get when the computer crashes, thus you must manually restart your computer, also if Barney does something and it was his fault you received a green screen of death, instead of the normal mad Barney pointing his arrow at the message telling you that you need to restart your computer, he will point his arrow at the reason why it crashed, and he will be shocked, and there will be a note from Barney explaining to you what happened, and there will be an item or video thumbnail that cause the computer to crash with a red prohibition sign on it, and he will tell you that you may need to install something to prevent this from happening again, preferably a driver or antivirus, and may even restart your computer for you.
Barney: Oh no, You got the Green Screen of Death, you have to restart your computer
You: I need to restart

Green Knight

A Green Knight is an overzealous and obsessed fan of said product(s). Green knighting is defending a company's product(s) with blind loyalty at every opportunity, regardless of any legitimate complaints said company receives from anyone else about their product(s).
Reading through the tweets, there are still Green Knights who will defend this bad game.

I saw it your eyes…
Oh that smile…
Did you see fall I almost did…
It is those arms…
At least from that distance
Rhyme? I can’t even do…
As my mind is going all ooh ooh…
I had arms too…
I bet you are going through the same thing lol:)

hours have passed…
I wish I would have stared…
The only thing I could do is look at the ceiling…
There you will find balls of green…
A total of two…
Incase you never knew:)

Things have changed…
But trust me when I say my love you always remains!!!
