potlatch, Festa, public hanging, getting check-marked

錢鍾書譯 potlatch為"不得落節" (管錐篇 頁100)

　薛稷(649-713)，…..因爲薛稷的書法能夠很好地繼承褚遂良的筆法和風格，“可謂河南公(褚遂良)之高足，甚爲時所珍尚。”所以，當時就有“買褚得薛，不失其節”的說法。

薛稷書語（買褚得薛不落節）



 
Welch said: “This isn’t about Greg Smith. It’s about Greg Smith’s manager and that manager’s manager. You go in and you look at how Greg Smith was appraised. Was Greg Smith told of his shortcomings? Or was he getting check-marked, ‘Fully satisfactory’? And then you get on with the business of making them accountable.”
In other words, find one or two managers to blame and hold a public hanging.
