Compression

Member of the board who opposes the chairman is told to seek employment elsewhere.

Hierarchy

"All in favor, say, 'Aye'."

'Who else implicitly trusts me no matter what stunts I pull?'

"The workers feel a disconnect with your leadership style."

'I will of course yield to whomever agrees with me.'

'Being finicky has nothing to do with taste - it's about power and control.'

'As chairman, that's my opinion. I propose we table any motion to further discuss this matter. All those in favor say 'aye'. All those opposed say 'bye'.'

'Well, like I said folks, it's only a suggestion, but let's not forget who's making it.'

'I don't care what he does, I'm not bowing this time.'

"But can't I be feared and loved?"

"And this, Wilcox, is my reality."

'If you're the Silent Majority, shut up!'

"I feel so inadequate! What do I know about saving the world?"

"There's no need to go round the table - I know who I am."

"The main thing is to make them think they're in charge."

'Yes, Mr. Hadley, I think I do see the big picture.'

"If I can control everyone around me it would help my damaged self esteem."

'I like the way you never question when I say jump.'

Little man in big man's pocket.

Angry man is beaten down by boss.

'He acts as if he thinks abusing his power is part of his annual bonus.'

'...and you feel all CEO's have the power to giveth and taketh away?'

'You can't vote to unionize- you're associates, not employees!'

'I have power - but it's not the kind that's easy to abuse.'

"I don't do intimidation"

'You don't really want my opinion, do you? You just want the chance to punch me again.'

"The boss will see you now."

"It's Swamp & Swallow - they're making an offer we can't refuse!"

"I won't suffer fools gladly. Yourself excepted, of course."

'Your former boss said you're a bully. We like that.'

'You're a spineless, craven, frightened little man, Bradberg - I like that in an employee.'

"If it's all the same, I'd prefer to interview you from the other side of the desk."

"These people say they're here to do your bidding and serve your every whim without question!"
