Word of the Day: Dead wood
Dead wood is something or someone that is not useful anymore.
A typical example is a lazy person in your workplace who doesn’t pull their weight.
It can be used to describe dead trees that cannot be used for lumber, or it can be used to describe a person.
In a park, on property you own, or even in your workplace, useless wood or people must be removed.
In the office, it is the same thing.
The boss has to decide to remove the dead wood and replace it with another better worker.
