Corporate Culture Enthusiast Pillows

'Excellent meeting. I loved the quick fixes, the simple solutions, and the easy answers.'

"The main, unchangeable principal that I use in life is to be pragmatic."

Three office doors: 'Idea People,' 'Make It Happen People,' and 'Make it Like This Never Happened People.'

Boss: 'Change is good!' Employees: 'Who's getting fired?'

'Of course, the first rule of effective management is active participation.'

"Sometimes it's important to stop whatever break you're taking and just do the work."

'As you know, George, we female C.E.O.'s use a collaborative management style. With that in mind, how would you prefer to be fired?'

"I was just going to say, 'Well, I don't make the rules.' But, of course, I do make the rules."

'Ms. Jennings, have you seen my 'Organization is the Key to the Success' poster?'

"Getting good grades isn't enough, son. You also need to bring in new clients."

"Now will everybody please turn to page 5 of the hidden agenda."

"This brand has a clean balance sheet, a lively marketing plan with tasteful notes of originality, and a strong fiscal-year finish."

'I don't know the dress code either... but I bet it doesn't include jammies!'

'Everybody has to change to compete.'

'Globalization never did me any harm.'

Rumour and speculation at work.

'Call a meeting, they're up to something, again.'

'To begin with, I'd like to apologise for my behavior at our recent meeting!'

'May I make a suggestion?'

In case of disgruntled employee break glass.

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

'I'm sorry but this is a staff meeting and that is obviously a rod...'

"Security? There's a goddam tree in my office."

'First, the Rules of Engagement for this meeting ...'

"You still haven't got the hang of breakfast networking, have you. . . ?"

"That's all very nice, Jefferson, but do you have any other new business?"

'Sure, they may be our best sales team, but what a bunch of prima donnas! The minute they think someone is trespassing on their turf, it's 'circle-the-cubicles' time!'

"Go say something nice about your mother's corporation."

"All those in favor of saying 'It's a wrap' instead of 'Meeting adjourned' say 'Aye.' "

'I hear they finally gave you the key to the executive washroom.'

'We're a non-profit corporation. It's not by design. It just turned out that way.'

Offices moved to 23rd floor - taking the company to new heights - the management.

"I think you might need to start again."

"Why don't you just go ahead and email me and we'll schedule a call, O.K.?"

"He's away but he manages to maintain a presence."
