Corporate conflict
Boardroom battle, dispute, row, split, coup, reshuffle, shake-up,
compensation, compensation payment, compensation payoff, compensation payout, golden handshake, oust
Journalists, of course, often dramatize disagreements between people, and a disagreement between executives is sometimes described as a boardroom battle, dispute, row or split.
These differences of opinion may lead to changes in boardroom personnel in a boardroom coup, reshuffle or shake-up. (A company’s board of directors meets in the boardroom even if the events described here do not always take place in it.)
Boardroom rows are often followed by dramatic departures, sometimes with a compensation payment, payoff or golden handshakes.
(These expressions are not to be confused with compensation, a technical term used to talk about salaries and benefits in general.) There is sometimes uncertainty as to whether the departing executive resigned voluntarily or was ousted: forced to leave.
1. Dramatic departures. In this account, from The Times, of the ousting of Dave Trott from the GGT agency, explain the use of ‘mere’ in the second line. Do you think the article suggests that £175,000 compensation is a) a lot, b) a little.
Limp Handshake
Dave Trott, the creative genius behind advertising slogans such as ‘Lipsmackinthirstquemchin…’ received a mere £175,000 in compensation when he was ousted from the Gold Greenlees Trott agency last year.
The amount, revealed in GGT’s latest report and accounts, represents only one year’s salary with nothing added for loss of office: curious considering Trott was a founder of the company and is the biggest personal shareholder (акционер), with 5.7 per cent of the equity (акционерный капитал).
Word on the street is that he was negotiating (negotiate вести переговоры) for a far bigger golden handshake in return for a promise that he would not set up in direct competition with his old employer. Trott is now running own advertising agency.

1) ‘This bank would bribe God,’ admits one employee. It soon becomes clear that BCCI, already famous as the bank used by drug barons (наркобароны) to launder money (отмывать деньги), has taken creative accounting to new heights.
2) The London Stock Exchange (Лондонская фондовая биржа) is investigating several cases of suspected insider dealing in stocks that moved sharply ahead of company’s announcements.
3) Making or faking false documents, banknotes or artworks. These are called forgeries.
4) There has been getting concern about possible market rigging, the allegations having arisen because of unexplained price surges during August and September. There have been complaints from electricity users who ask why prices did not fall during the summer when demand is at its lowest.
5) The Great Nigerian Letter Scam continues, says the company fraud squad. Lettera are still tempting recipients with the offer of millions of dollars if they help transfer money out of Nigeria.
