voted off the island 

"Voted off the island" is coined from the popular Survivor TV reality series. Used similarly to "throw under the bus" but it implies that more people (co-workers, your boss even) were involved in getting you off the team or fired. Basically, you are sacrificed so that the others can keep their own jobs. Sad truth is that "dog-eat-dog" survival exists in the office - especially in a bad economy - so keep your eyes and ears peeled for whisperers and frienenemies to minimize your chance of being voted off the island.

If Pete is not careful, he'll be voted off the island by the end of the month.

Getting off the Island 

A metaphor for coming out/coming out of the closet; accepting oneself as LGBT and/or letting the people around you know. From Italian slang.

Ashley: Great! I'm happy for you!
