Business Challenger Mugs

Fight on the top

"My email is down... talk to me."

'My imaginary playmate can whip your imaginary playmate!'

"I see we're going up against the Big Guys."

"We're all just a number here, Finch, and fortunately my number is one."

'Pretty strange term, market share, considering the whole object is not to.'

'A 10M bonus for your thoughts.'

'Let me guess - you lost a fight against a young challenger who has now replaced you as the company's alpha male!'

"Scientists confirmed today that everything we know about the structure of the universe is wrongedy-wrong-wrong."

"I'm worried. We're small enough to fail, but not big enough to be bailed out!"

Caricature of Noam Chomsky

'I'm calling you out, account to account.'

'Our company has hit an icebery and is sinking fast. Of course, it's all very symbolic.'

Sinking sales

Businessman at the deep end.

A successful meeting! Only one member left in a rage shouting obcenities.

Paper being carefully folded until it resembles a scrunched up paper ball.

"Now I don't want to alarm you, but are you familiar with the term 'On the scrapheap'!"

People hanging on to the horns of the raging bull of 'Business'

'We think a lot alike - and that threatens my uniqueness to this company.'

"You can't just put on the uniform whenever you don't want to have a conversation, Barry."

"Irma, cancel all my appointments for the next 3 weeks, I need to go home to brood. Tell the board to only contact me on my mobile phone..."

"Tomorrow, we'll take on the tobacco industry."

"Actually, there is such a thing as a stupid question, and you've just asked it."

"Now, are you here to see the top dog or the queen bee?"

Workers' Rights

'I like to end these meetings with a group hug, if you'll step out of the cubicles.'

'This job is the cutting edge of female multi-tasking. We need you to perform as if headed for the top. We also need you to never actually get there.'

Thinking of throwing the 'Think' sign into the garbage.

"Until you've replaced, you're irreplaceable in this company."

"So why do you feel that you're a better person for the job than every other candidate who's shown me résumés with the exact same credentials?"

'I've tried to set an example for you, but you just don't have the right attitude, Carson.'

'If you really want that promotion, Barnes, you'll swim back to the boat and get my laptop.'

CEO: 'Send a memo reminding everyone I'm still here.'

"I hope this isn't another one of your crazy bounce-me-off-the-wall ideas."
