Friend Management

The act of coordinating who you invite to hang out with when you have multiple circles of friends with varying personalities that often clash, or individuals within the groups have beef with each other.

Ben wants to hang out tonight, but I'm going to Katelin's party and they don't get along. While I love both of them, I'll have to use my friend management skills to prevent drama from erupting.

You'd think there was an award for slum manager with how many jobs in the US are running on skeleton crew, since the housing market crash. Now we're all doing two jobs for the price of one!

The mushroom theory of management

An old, time-honored management technique in large corporations.

1. Keep your employees in the dark.
2. Feed them shit.
3. When they grow up, cut them off at the roots.

The CEO of XYZ Corp is a big believer in the mushroom theory of management.

Management Tunnel Vision

When someone of a higher power/management decides to act on impulse regardless of how anyone else feels or has concerns about, in other words they dont give a flying fuck and only care bout their status.

I hate when my managers dont listen to what i have to say, its like they have management tunnel vision.

mushroom management

A way to manage tech teams working to an ill-defined task, described by Tracy Kidder as "Keep them in the dark, feed them shit, watch them grow" (in his 1981 title 'The Soul of a New Machine' about the people that built the first minicomputer at Data General).

As long as the outcome remains undefined, there's no way to hold them accountable for whichever result. You'd better apply mushroom management instead.

herd management

When a person is trying to keep a large number of lovers or potential lovers in contact. Oftentimes by making a quick text throughout the day possibly a generic text that can be copied and pasted to multiple people. The person usually overreaches their span of control and becomes overwhelmed. In the animal kingdom this would be similar to a buck trying to control a large number of doe hence “herd management “

Every morning I get up I gotta do herd management by sending out a text to my girls.
