Compression

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

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

Hierarchy

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

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

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

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

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

'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'.'

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

Angry man is beaten down by boss.

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

'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?'

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"And this, Wilcox, is my reality."

'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.'

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

'Quit sulking! This is a power marriage and you know it!'

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

"The boss will see you now."

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

"I don't do intimidation"

'Works for me.' (picture of big fish swallowing smaller fish.)
