Hate Crime

An act of intentional hating on another person with the intention of causing severe damage to one’s reputation and/or status. A malicious and spiteful act committed out of jealousy and envy.

Example: I was dating my office manager completely under the radar. Her jealous ex, who works in the mail-room, went and snitched to the company CEO and got both of us fired. Her ex committed a Hate Crime. He’s just mad ‘cause he wish he could be me.

captain's call

Extraneous exercise of authority. An independent decision made, usually by a junior member of management with minimal input from line staff and even less influence by executive directive. Such decisions are often unpopular and counter productive, although they can on rare occasion be beneficial to the organization.

Employee #1: Hey, what happened to casual Fridays? I was looking forward to dressing down for a day.
Employee #2: Cancelled, business attire required.
Employee #3: But why? We've always had designated dress down days.
Employee #4: I don't know girl, ask your supervisor. He made the call.
Employee #5: Yeah right- a captain's call.
