Boardroom Brawler Mugs

'A two-manager meeting.'

'I shall not raise my voice, but be aware every word I say is upper case, bold, italics and underlined.'

'The answer is still no. I may look like a pushover, but I'm not.'

It was supposed to be a friendly takeover?

"It was a hostile takeover."

"Okay, we all know how this is done. There are 4 of you and only 3 regional manager openings. Margaret - start the music."

'We provide a working environment which nurtures that rare, creative spark found only between people who can't stand each other!'

'It's bad enough losing to a takeover bid, but when it's your wife who takes over....'

'I still have one more hostile takeover to pursue before I enter in an anger management program.'

'This should soothe any hurt feelings.'

No - what kind of answer is 'no'?!

'There's quite a power struggle going on.'

The merger has been called off

'Getting Labor and Management together...'

'What's this I hear about you filing an age discrimination suit, you old fool?'

'So I says to him, ok loudmouth, let's see you takeover my company.'

'You forget, I'm a blackbelt in powerpoint.'

"Forget five-year plans. Let's just figure out how to make it to lunch."

'It's a chart of office morale. This is where you went on vacation.'

"Well, it looks like the merger is off."

'Hey, look, I can stand up and shout, too!'

"Oh dear...I don't think negotiations are going too well..."

"Tell the vice presidents they've downsized enough."

"I'm Jackson, your new micro-manager."

"'Meetingpalooza' sounded better in the brochure."

'To close the deal, I had to make some minor concessions.'

'I'm moving up to be Chairperson-of-the-board. One of you will be President.' (Men have fencing swords).

'You're developing a reputation as something of a cowboy, Henderson.'

"That's Hicks from the corporate office. He's adorable, but trust me—when it comes to acquisitions, he's an animal!"

"We've had a major development this year that I'm excited to share with the employees."

'Dog eat dog.'

'I'm part of the decision-making process... I'm the 'No' part.'

"Oh good, you brought Robert's rules of order."

"Our Big Hairy Audacious Goal is balding."

Although not felt by everone, Wanda's powrful jargon sent seismic shock waves through some of the more geologically unstable department in the organization.
