Bureaucratic Slang

BUREAUCRATIC SLANG: There are numerous terms used by individuals within bureaucracies, designed either to ease communication within an agency OR to befuddle those who are not members of that specific organization.

If you are looking for the primary 'slang' reference point, it is here.

TERMS:

'Redex': This means an individual needs all references or mentions of a specific item completely deleted, on hard copies AND all electronic records. In many cases, this can mean by any means necessary, including the use of force or corporate crime. The term was picked up by criminals who use redex as a term for a contracted killing. One of the more popular immersives is 'Redex Jayke', the story of a corporate enforcer betrayed by his higher-ups who goes back and kills each of them one by one.

'Spider Web': This refers to the intrictate nature of the WLN's bureaucracy and is common in discussions by non-WLN administrators and staffers.

'3-d in all directions': This term is not a reference to three dimensions. Instead, it is short for 'three deep', meaning that a worker has multiple documents needing completion and past due, on the Q-Net, the local server, and hard copies.
