The Bear That Wasn't comes to mind.

Not sure but it sounds like something the National Film Board of Canada would have done.
Motxmod, that is it! Thank you so much. My memory was pretty close, but the man wasn’t a man at all ;)
It feels good to finally have an answer to a question after so many years. Thanks again!
I remember watching a short cartoon back in the early 90s. I am pretty sure the cartoon is from an earlier time than that (60s or 70s maybe). The protagonist has some sort of comment or complaint that he wants to make to his boss. He is sent up an elevator to the next floor and speaks to the boss. He is then continually sent up the elevator to higher floors to speak to bigger and bigger bosses. The floors get more ornate has he goes up. At some point he makes it to the very top of the building and speaks to the big boss (the president?) of the company. I can't remember why he wanted to talk the boss or what the resolution was. I do recall the cartoon as being kinda psychedelic in its style. This has been driving my crazy for decades.
