Verb: 1) the way of describing a senior member of staff negatively critiquing a piece of work, even though effort or partial effort was put onto it. 2) the way of a member of management unjustifiably “destroying” / “going-to-town” on a piece of work in front of colleagues to make them feel superior. In both examples this leaves you deflated and wondering why you bothered. A few hours of job searching usually ensues. Not to be confused with ‘bussing’ where a similar level colleague purposely discredits your work due to lack of effort on their part so it gets ‘slapped up’ to draw attention away from them. "Stephen just threw me under the bus"
