Directors here said to be fed up with the place (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

boardroom

'directors here' is the definition.
(where company directors meet)

'said to be fed up with the place' is the wordplay.
'said to be' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'fed up' becomes 'bored' (fed up can mean bored).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the place' becomes 'room' (I've seen this before).
'bored' sounds like 'board'.
'board'+'room'='BOARDROOM'

(Other definitions for boardroom that I've seen before include "Directors collectively" , "top management" , "venue for business meeting" , "executive apartment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
