You, the companys regional director of sales, are sitting at your desk when your good friend and colleague Joe, visibly upset, tells you the "operations guys" are complaining that "sales" underbid the project, "as usual," and operations wont "take the hit for it this time." You, of course, find these remarks not only inaccurate but defamatory. With poor Joe shaking in front of you, and your own career suddenly shaky, you spot justice two feet away: your computer. All you need do to keep this outrage from gathering steam is to blast the historic incompetence of the operations team. You pound those keys. You punch "send." You copy everyone in the company with "a need to know."
The nightmare, you think, has been swept away. Youre happy. Joes happy. Like any fan of a good horror movie knows, the nightmare is making a sharp turn and sweeping your way.
