Re: Is it right all you execs and mds out there
If I was in a position to help a friend out with a bit of a perk then I would.
In my defense I don't 100% understand what you are asking??? Last edited by Scoobs; 24-02-11 at 12:16 PM. |

I'm a bit confused to... The only answer I can give at the moment is:
It's not what you know... |

Re: Is it right all you execs and mds out there
You don't have to know an MD, just the right person. Our development 'director' is always promising new features to customers when on site visits, with no idea if it is possible or cost effective. Guess who then has to make good on her promises?
No it is not right, but that is the way of the world.

Re: Is it right all you execs and mds out there
Told our boss to tell the customer to put aluminium foil between two electrical devices to cut down on interference, then told him we were only joking and that the 2 items of eqpt weren't compatible and not to sell them together.
Customer walks in, and our boss says yes you can have these and we'll sort out the interference with some ali foil. God save us from paperclip counters
