New Corporate Role Pillows

Coming to an agreement

'I'm sure that one wasn't there last week.'

"I don't like getting bogged down in details. I'm more of a big-picture guy."

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

'No, your guess isn't as good as mine.'

The new boss brought a sense of urgency.
