When an otherwise talented employee is faced with a number of artifically imposed impediments to his/her promotion because he/she displays some personality trait that supervisors find threatening or objectionable.

That new account manager is smarter than the department head. The account manager speaks three languages and has an MBA. They've put him on the obstacle track to success. They're saying now that he's not getting along well with his co-workers and he doesn't seem to enjoy being here. That's supposedly why he wasn't promoted.

sass track

Background music in a television program - often emulating a pizzicato playing technique - used to punctuate on-screen dialog that is meant to be interpreted as sassy, ironic, or clever.

They play that annoying sass track whenever the characters are trying to be clever.

Con-Track

When a band/label release a song which is not representative of the album it is from.

Guy: "hey dude did you hear the new Fictus track on the radio? it's awesome, i'm gonna go buy the album right now!"

Me: "don't bother, it's a Con-Track, the rest of the album is crap and sounds nothing like it"

Guy: "oh. that's extremely disappointing"

Me: "indeed"
