Get the Tight as a dot mug.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."

Get the cross my t's and dot my i's mug.dotdotdot is the oral form of "..." People who talk as if they were in a chat room in real life use this word for expressing how stupid their friends are or for saying something stupid and pointless and should be slapped for even talking like so.
It can also be said as "dot-dot-dot" but the odds people these days are going to bother saying "dash" for the "-" are incredibly low.
