Ladder Climbing Champion Mugs

Jungle Games

Businessman on stilts: 'I had to step over a lot of people to get where I am today.'

'He got a raise but not enough to help him clear the fence.'

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

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

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

Upward Progress

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

'I can't believe I didn't get that promotion. So many people have passed me by I feel like a road sign on the highway to success.'

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

Cat in Tree.

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

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

"Today we are going to find out if you can that leap."

'You're going to have to work your way up to the ground floor like everyone else.'

Man suffering from rope burn due to climbing the corporate ladder

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

"Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!"

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

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

Texturing the Walls

Building business relations.

"You know, there's a corporate elevator."

If a moo can rise to the top, so can I.

"I've finally arrived. The C.E.O. stopped saying 'who the hell are you' whenever he sees me."

"Why do you always assume I'm going down?"

'Here you are, Simmons!'

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

"Must get a longer cable."

Ladder of Success.

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

"Remember when everyone told you this job would lead you nowhere? Well, you've arrived!"

'Let me guess - you lost a fight against a young challenger who has now replaced you as the company's alpha male!'

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

"The itsy-bitsy spider went up the corporate ladder. And he didn't care how many lives he ruined along the way. I know, this isn't the book Simon & Schuster wants. But it's the damn truth."
