At work RIP means Retired In Place. It is used for that older person who is always there, but doesn't seem to have any real job. Somehow, they have escaped downsizing. Retired In Place could be used to describe the bike you never ride anymore, but has sentimental value or you have had it so long that you forgot why you bought it.
