When you are working for free in hopes of getting paid in the future, but the client does not value you or your work to pay you, aka take it to the next level.
Chrissy: Ya, I've been doing some work for Tony, if he gets this new big contract, he is going to pay me, but for now, I am just gonna lay low.

Adriana: Chrissy, you have been doing this for 6 months and he hasn't paid you. You're in the White Collar Friend Zone. Even if he gets the contract, he is never going to pay.
