Hierarchy Enthusiasts Gifts

I went down to the jail to bail out Sadie. But she refused to leave. Why? Seems the old lady's risen to the top of the pecking order already. Everyone seemed to be catering to her.

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

'Finally! A meeting with one of the bigwigs.'

'Manager. . . Commander. . . Chieftain. . . King!'

"I need to see your budget proposal."

The Evolution of the Bonus

Doglike man to vampire: 'Call me an apprentice werewolf, or even a beginner werewolf, but don't call me an under werewolf!'

"Biff's old money, Angelo is new money and Boris is funny money."

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

'Congratulations Smith, you got that promotion. Commiserations Reid, you got that demotion.'

'Need I remind you who's boss here?'

"Back when I was your age the only way to get a promotion was kissing butt."

"The boss can see you now."

"Stranger, you're sitting in the boss's personal spot. That's why they moved the dart board over your head."

'He takes his organization chart seriously.'

"It's my intelligence, talent and hard work that have got me to the top."

"Ms. Ray, you're getting a promotion! You're no longer my Gal Friday. You're now my Gal Saturday."

"It looks like we're reorganizing again."

Pecking order.

'Miss Chambers, requisition me some more clout.'

'I didn't get the salary increase, but I've been moved one parking space closer to the entrance.'

Gates of heaven

'Would you feel less inferior if I made you a Colonel?'

"Sorry, Pete, but Bill is now my 'go-to' guy. Until further notice, you're my 'anybody-but' guy."

'Don't worry, the dog's a sales manager!'

"The quicksand was corporate's idea. I wanted to fire you for going over my head. They wanted to send a message."

"Mr. Stiltz asked Jean to ask Genie to ask Kelley to ask Dawn to ask Lisa to tell you he'd like to see you in his office."

"Actually, I worked my way up from 'ideas'."

"Guess what, Collins? Not my job to remember what I said yesterday."

"Congratulations. I'm promoting you from 'Yes Man' to 'Vice President in Charge of Affirmation.'"

'I know that you think you should be the President of this company, Your Majesty. But, you'll just have to work your way up, like I did!'
