Incorporated as Hongkong Shanghai Banking Corporation; also referred to as Holy Shit Buffalo's Cold, Holy Shit the Bank's Collapsing, Hot Sauce & Blue Cheese, and Home of the Sabres and Bills Clubs. Known for treating their employees like dirt; using kindergarten-inspired construction paper games to push employees to sell unnecessary products to people who call for an account balance; and use of pushy, threatening language to attempt to maintain a monthly goal of selling aforementioned unnecessary products.

Also known for publicly promoting themselves for diversity but only if it looks good on camera.
The promotional flyer featured HSBC employees of mixed ethnicities and physical challenges, but asked a worker to resign after said worker was diagnosed with learning disability and given a medical order to be moved to a different area of the local operations.

Eternity leave 

When some resigns or retires from a job, they are on "eternity leave". This can also refer to someone who has passed away, especially someone who worked somewhere for a long time, retired/resigned, then passed away later.
Oh I'm sorry, you didn't know that Kelly is on eternity leave? She resigned and moved to Hawaii!

With regrets I would like to inform you that my boss is officially on eternity leave. I will never see or hear them again. Ever.
