Corporate Drama Enthusiast Pillows

Tony Hayward walks the plank.

'Our accounting errors were due to the fact that we didn't have duplicate copies.'

Good morning, Rudy. What's so good about it? My awareness that Google and Apple, the two companies you idolize, are in increasing cutthroat competition. To think of the damage your two darlings could do to one another. The chaos. The drama. The Anguish! Plus, it's sunny. Bite me.

'Turnover's down, expediture's up, my blood pressure is through the roof and the board are going round the bend. In short, Wilkins, you're fired.'

"Remember the golden rule: more buzzwords, less real words."

'We invest so much money in training staff...it's a mystery to me why businesses would risk losing them.'

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

"Another job well done by your conflict resolution specialist."

'Our product flooded the market... Before backing up a deluge of consumer complaints!'

'You're my best man, Pomeroy, so I've decided to sell the damn company.'

Nothing Succeeds Like Confidence.

'Being the boss's yes-man used to be easier. Now you also have to 'like' him on facebook, follow him on Twitter, link with him on linked-in...'

'The staff is being reduced. The exit strategy will be explained at a meeting to be held, after work, in the parking lot.'

"We have an acronym!"

"If I made as much as him, I could retire in a couple of days"

"At this office no two days are different."

'Ok, here's the meeting agenda ... it's gonna be a long one.'

'How would you feel about working in a small pond?'

Parade of Businessmen

'We're going to need to find a scapegoat.'

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

"Here comes a client I must speak to. Excuse me while I slip into some jargon."

"Yes, we do accept resumes online, but there's more to it than giving me your computer with your resume on it."

"I think you might need to start again."

'Go to work, do your job, go home. . . Penburtson, that is the American Dream!'

"I think we should try something a little simpler."

"The scowl might just be what this place needs."

"I know we're not lions, but let's call ourselves a pride anyway."

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

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

Change Management: Change can be ruf.

Dave realised that Clive didn't see problems,only 'challenges to be embraced'.

"Wait -- I have an app that creates a napkin to write the contract terms on."

"You're a shark! You're a killer! Nothing can stop you! Now get back in that boardroom and apologize."

"We owe our success to teamwork. Without it we could never have grasped at so many straws."
