You can't handle the truth!
 
Got this in an e-mail:
------------------------------------------------
Finance: "I think we are entitled to them!"

Sales: "You want answers?!"


Finance: "I want the truth!"

Sales: "You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world
that requires revenue. And that revenue must be brought in by people with
elite skills. Who's going to find it? You? You, Mr. Operations? We have a
greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You scoff at the
sales
division and curse our lucrative incentives. You have that luxury. You
also
have the luxury of not knowing what we know: that while the cost of
business results are excessive, it drives in revenue. And my very
existence,
while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, drives REVENUE! You don't
want
to know the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about in
board
meetings ... you want me on that call. You NEED me on that call! We use
words like stop loss, cost management, network discounts and transparency.
We use these words as the backbone of a life spent negotiating
opportunities. You use them as a punch line! I have neither the time nor
inclination to explain myself to people who rise and sleep under the very
blanket of revenue I provide and then question the manner in which I
provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way.
Otherwise I suggest you pick up a phone and make some sales calls. Either
way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!"

Finance: "Did you expense the lap dances?"

Sales: "I did the job I was hired to do."



Finance: "Did you expense the lap dances?"

Sales: "You're goddamn right I did!"

It's almost as if somebody placed a bug in our conference room. It sounds like our staff meeting verbatim...
