When in a social setting, an individual only talks about the work. They have such tunnel vision there unable to discuss any other subject matter that may be interesting to the other party as well. They are at a level of narcissism thinking that other people really want to hear them whine and complain about their work. These individuals tend never to ask questions about what you're doing. On the off chance, if you share some personal information about yourself, they can't remember those details because they are so consumed by their work life.
Sitting in the main square on the fountain, I bumped into my buddy Wayne who I hadn't seen a while, instead of catching up, he committed a Work Talk Violation.
A motivational imagery technique used to drastically increase your interest and stamina while working out at the gym.

A relationship you developed with an exceptionally witty female colleague during the COVID pandemic while working remotely, despite having never met in person. The entire relationship is based on far too many zoom calls and slack chats talking about mindless work crap and how stupid and lame all your coworkers are. The top ranked virtual female friend receives the coveted label "girlfriend". An improvement over the traditional "work wife" in spite of being apparently lower on the hierarchy. This is because you don't share a physical space so there are fewer requirements to buy expensive, shiny things to keep her happy, and arguments can be conveniently ended with "internet issues".
Child 1 "Mom found out Dad was going to Austin to meet his virtual work girlfriend!"
Child 2 "Oh shit."

A work fuck buddy is a business colleague who you engage in hot, work related sex when you both attending corporate events such as trade shows and conferences. Generally, both parties have no relationship outside of work functions and save the fun for conferences. A work fuck buddy is there to engage, motivate, and reward with the intent of delivering maximum ROI.
