You may hear someone say this in the office:
“You can tell she's in the loop. She always knows about policy decisions before the rest of us.”
This means the co-worker in question has special knowledge or power that belongs to a certain group of people.
‘Out of the loop’ means the opposite is the case.
If people in your workplace use phrases or idioms like this, it can be a little confusing.
For example, if someone says something is ‘a long shot’, then they mean it is a difficult task (although not impossible).
Many business idioms were originally used in sporting situations. If you change the rules or targets at the last moment, I would not be surprised to find out that your colleagues accuse you of ‘moving the goalposts’
