Swedish term or phrase: farfar
Jeg har en tekst som bl.a. inneholder retningslinjer for attestering i et firma, men plutselig dukker "farfar" opp. Er det noen som vet hvem det er i et selskap:

Anställningsavtal, och/eller bonusprogram, nya löner och motsvarande måste alltid undertecknas av anställande chef efter skriftligt godkännande av farfar.

Explanation:
Her tror jeg bare jeg ville spurt kunden om farfar skal brukes bokstavelig. Du finner blant annet "Alla ledare sätter lön inom det spann vi fått från HR-avdelningen. Vi arbetar också enligt farfarsprincipen som betyder att man ska samråda med närmaste högre ledare innan man sätter lönen" på web-referansen. Jeg kjenner ikke til noen bruk av farfarsprinsippet på norsk, ut over ETT G-treff som ikke er analogt.
