    Office Environment

    Discussion in 'Word Mechanics' started by Anaspiringauthor, Feb 8, 2017.

    Hi, I sometimes feel online thesauruses lack comprehensiveness. I am looking for a better synonym for "top brass" than those I've found so far.

    Ones I'm considering are: higher-ups, board members, department heads.

    Formal or informal, doesn't matter. Nor do they have to be concise one- or two-word synonyms. Open to all. Thanks in advance :)
