Goblin mode...
Quiet firing is a thing.. who knew about Goblin mode? Apparently meaning unapologetically self-indulgent, lazy, slovenly, or greedy behaviour, typically in a way that rejects social norms or expectations. Another type of behaviour that we do not want to become acceptable in the work place. I am not sure giving this behaviour its own slang term is particularly helpful, but perhaps this is what happens when you allow the public to choose the word of the year...

From ‘Goblin mode’ to ‘quiet firing’, it’s been a week or interesting conversations here in the news room. Goblin mode is a slang term describing “unapologetically self-indulgent, lazy, slovenly, or greedy” behaviour and was announced this week as the first Oxford word of the year. Quick off the mark, Zapp, the 24/7 convenience delivery app, has launched a ‘Goblin Mode’ store, where customers can find all the perfect snacks and drinks for those ‘Goblin Mode’ moments – without even leaving the sofa.
