revolving door
Circular lobby entry
A revolving door is a door with panels rotating around a central axis, allowing people to enter and exit simultaneously while minimizing air exchange between inside and outside.
Figuratively, a revolving door describes situations where people cycle in and out repeatedly: The company has a revolving door of executives.
In political contexts, it refers to movement between government positions and private-sector jobs in the same industry: the revolving door between regulators and the banks they oversee.
