Career Ladder Enthusiast Prints

"Blind loyalty, Gilliford, by God, that's a trait I like to see in a young man."

"Well, ordinary men have colleagues. Successful men have victims."

"Applying for an internship without an MBA? Quite confident, aren't we?"

'Is that the sweet smell of success or some imitation air freshener?'

"It looks like the 'because I say so' has it."

"Work hard, make the sacrifices and in 25 years you could be just like me!"

"That arrow always goes to the bottom when I walk by."

Like many of those in tribicles, Mitch dreamed of one day moving up to the real deal.

"No, I'm not really a CEO. I just like to keep up with the Joneses."

'You lack the expertise we're looking for, Mr Wheaton - but darn it, I like your attitude.'

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

Not a surprise, coming from the new boss - who looks about 6 years old.

'By the time I climbed up to this job, I was too tired to do it.'

'I'm afraid that the top investment banks are looking for more from job applicants than a 'Top Degree from the University of Hard Knocks'.'

'It could have been worse...she might have chosen banking.'

"Look , Malcolm, I get it that you're ambitious. But can't you put that damn thing down just for a minute?"

'I refuse to relinquish the title, 'Top Young Exec'.'

Texturing the Walls

"We don't have an exercise room here. You'll stay in shape by climbing the ladder, jumping through hoops, toeing the line..."

'You've spelt 'C.V.' wrongly.'

Ladder of Success.

"Todd was glad he had a support animal."

Ted did have some concerns about the appearance of nepotism.

"Yes, I'm sure you do deserve further career advancement. But if I promote you again you'll have my job!"

'I fetch, but it hasn't helped my career any.'

"No, our company doesn't provide day care or maternity leave."

Planting a Flag on the Summit

"Firing is too good for you, Mike. I'm going to give you MY job instead!"

'He's done well considering he was just a part-time summer intern.'

'Going back to work now that the kids are grown is one thing, Martha. Mounting a hostile takeover bid of my company is another!'

-"Wife and kids?" -"No, a photo of a set of beautifully prepared accounts."

"Rumour has it that you're after my job."

"I have my pants put on one leg at a time."

'Nice work, kid. Looks like you might be ready to sit up at the big boys' table.'

'Yes, I occasionally make mistakes but, unlike you, I never have to acknowledge them.'
