Refers to any meeting (usually
business) when the
boss or most senior person melts down and throws a fit usually by berating, scolding and on occasion bitch-slapping his/her subordinates because they had the audacity to offer an
opinion that differed from his/her own.
Joe Accountant: "Hey Bill, how did the meeting
go?"
Bill Salesman: " Brutal man, a total Operation Recipe Retrieve. The
boss fired Bob, threw a mug at Doris and reemed everyone a new a-hole because we didn't like his idea."
