Friend In A Corporate Job Mugs

'I should have told you, every Friday senior partners get to do the Prosecco Polonaise.'

Boss's Desk Says No!

'I like the way you handle responsibility, McWit, so I'm going to blame some stuff on you.'

That shows business confidence.

'The Board has chosen you to handle the restructuring because you have no heart.'

"That's Paul, he's our head of partnerships..."

'He's faxing like there's no tomorrow.'

InOutYada Yada.

'But before we move on, allow me to belabor the point even further...'

"And, for insurance purposes, you must buy insurance."

"The water does taste a little funny. Maybe they added analgesics, to ease the pain of restructuring."

"The camera is mounted on your desk for a reason. There's been some paperclips missing, and we think you're the culprit."

"Does this desk make my job look big?"

'Miss Barnes, cancel my appointments. If I start swimming now, I can be back in the office in a few weeks.'

'Being taller than me will get you nowhere.'

"Nope! He'd never set eyes on a water cooler in all his years in the office!"
