networks has gotten in the way of your productivity.
It’s just a minute here and a minute
there. Why all the nitpicking?
* nitpick / nitpicky: to criticize because
of small, unimportant details.

got your tongue? It’s better that you don’t speak
anyway.
* Cat got your tongue?: said when
someone cannot speak when they are expected to speak
ex> I said hello, Tom. What’s wrong, cat
got your tongue?
But what about everyone else in the
office, don’t they have a say in
this?
* have a say in: to be one of the
decision makers in a matter
ex> I know I’m still in high school,
but don’t I have a say in where we go on vacation, mom?
Great! Now there’s going to be a lynch mob after me!

determined to exact revenge
ex> You’d better run, Sam. There’s a lynch
mob coming for you!
Well, you've made your bed, so you've got to sleep in it.
* you've made your bed, so (now) you've
got to sleep/lie in it: a way of saying that someone has made bad decisions, so
they must now face the consequences
ex> I told you he was the wrong man
to marry! But you've made your bed, so now you have to sleep in it.
