Dilbert's New Words


BLAMESTORMING:  Sitting around in a group, discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed, and who was responsible.

CHAINSAW CONSULTANT:  An outside expert brought in to reduce the employee headcount, leaving the top brass with clean hands.

IDEA HAMSTERS:  People who always seem to have their idea generators running.

STRESS PUPPY:  A person who seems to thrive on being stressed out and whiny.

FLIGHT RISK:  Used to describe employees who are suspected of planning to leave a company or department soon.

CLM - Career Limiting Move:  Used among micro serfs to describe ill-advised activity. Trashing your boss while he or she is within earshot is a serious CLM.

OHNOSECOND:  That minuscule fraction of time in which you realize that you've just made a BIG mistake.
