Mr. Fanservice: Gus and Robert get their own share of shirtless scenes as well as occasional full-frontal nudity. | |

Green-Eyed Monster | |
| Industry / int_1d2400e9 | comment |
Green-Eyed Monster: Non-romantic example. Daria is clearly jealous of how Eric pays attention to Harper and gives the graduate opportunities more senior members of the team don't get. | |

Character Tic: Felim Bichan has an odd habit of dipping his right ring finger into a glass of milk and tasting just that one drop and ignoring the rest. Harper notices this and references it in the subject line of her email to Felim to draw his attention. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Early on in the series Greg suggests someone let Yasmin know Bloomberg Terminal messages are monitored by managers. In the second-to-last episode it is revealed that her boss learned of her supervisor's poor behavior by reading these messages, and pressures her to keep quiet. | |

| Industry / int_23ff95fb | comment |
Brutal Honesty: Eric doesn't sugarcoat anything when dealing with his employees. He even says he doesn't care if his clients lose money. What matters is that they give him their cash so he can make Pierpoint more money. | |

Small Name, Big Ego | |
| Industry / int_28a5213a | comment |
Small Name, Big Ego: Daria sees herself as a rising star, but she struggles to close vital deals and mangles delicate negotiations with big clients, costing Pierpoint business. Kenny Kilbane likes to swagger around the office, then his MD upbraids him in public for not having brought in any new business since his last promotion. Clement similarly only has one big account - who promptly retires at the end of the first season, resulting in his redundancy. Prior to then he'd had quite an ego despite being principally successful in the 90s. | |

| Industry / int_33f095a8 | comment |
Jaded Washout: Clement Cowan was once a high flyer at Salomon Brothers in the 90s. Now in his 50s, he's barely holding on as a VP as people decades younger than him pass him on the career ladder and graduates view him as a cautionary tale. | |

Bad Boss | |
| Industry / int_3cb1d38d | comment |
Bad Boss: All over the place, but most notable with Eric and Kenny. Eric demeans and belittles people on the floor, gets dressed right in front of them, compromises business deals by making personal remarks about the client's wife and then blames Harper for not sticking up for him when he attempts to get them back onside, then boxes Daria - her line manager - out of working with her. Kenny is similarly dismissive of Yasmin at first but later reveals he's treating her the way he was first treated when he was hired and apologises for snapping at her when drunk. Neither of them are portrayed as solely bad people, just that they've been moulded by the competitive cut throat environment they're surrounded with, and they pass their dysfunction onto their employees, more so in the case of Harper who willingly lies to Daria to try and recover the account Eric lost in the first place. | |

The Peter Principle | |
| Industry / int_45de345c | comment |
The Peter Principle: Robert struggles to impress during Ri F but gets hired anyway as some of the hiring board feel talking to someone like him (the subtext being: a man with a background similar to them) would make them more comfortable. Season 2 deals with his struggles to rise to the occasion as he's initially anxious about picking up the phone, something with Harper and Yasmin already got comfortable doing in Season 1. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
| Industry / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Eric Tao doesn't hesitate to hand out brutal put-downs to people in full view of others. He does demonstrate a soft side, however, most notably with Harper. He takes her under his wing, shields her background from close scrutiny, and berates her only in private. He even gives her an enormous bonus just because he can. | |

The Alleged Boss | |
| Industry / int_54bb2c63 | comment |
The Alleged Boss: Sara is supposed to head Pierpoint's London office, but the MDs clearly have little respect for her and Bill Adler doesn't have time for her opinions and overrides her decisions. Best illustrated when she mismanages an incident where Eric berated Harper, using it as an opportunity to get rid of him. The situation blows up in her face because she underestimated how much the firm values Eric and inadvertently puts Harper firmly in Eric's camp with her condescending compassion. Daria is technically Harper's supervisor, but Eric takes direct charge of Harper's development while going out of his way to freeze Daria out of deals and badmouth her on the floor. She tries to fight back, but badly overplays her hand and unwittingly puts herself in an even weaker position within the company. By the end of Season 1, Harper uses the leverage she gained from Sara's mismanagement of the Eric incident to bring Eric back into the fold while pushing Daria out. | |

Big Eater: When at her seat, Harper can be seen working her way through large meals like a Full-English or a loaded burrito or is seen with a large, open bag of crisps. The FX desk, by contrast, stick to healthier salads. | |

Token Minority: Robert discusses this trope when he shows a picture in a corporate magazine in which a minority character had been edited in to Yasmin. Sara does the same when she suggests that Gus can rise quickly through the firm if he accepts her offer to keep quiet about a scandal. | |

Twofer Token Minority: Gus is both black and gay, this is lampshaded by the President of Pierpoint London who suggests hiring a highly intelligent minority would make the firm look good. Harper is a black woman. Yasmin is apparently of Arab descent while she's into women along with men it turns out. | |

| Industry / int_d397657d | comment |
Hoist by His Own Petard: Hari attempts to show off his dedication to Pierpoint by taking on extra work and never leaving the office — relying on short naps in the toilet and pills for energy instead. This ends up killing him. Sara and Daria's attempts to force Eric out blow up in their faces as Harper grows tired of their attempts to frame her as a victim and uses actual leverage given to her by Pierpoint's CEO to get Daria fired and diminish Sara in the eyes of the rest of the office. | |
