eight'll get ya sixty five thousand!
I have learned a few things in my new job.
For instance, when you tell someone that they lost a $20,000 contract because another company submitted a bid that was $2 less than theirs they swear….LOUDLY!
But this is where the sadistic part of me gets happy.
We then had to tell the same company that they lost a different $45,000 contract by $6. Apparently, swearing doesn’t cut it in this case. There was about 8 seconds of silence and then the phone was hung up.
He called back later in the day so we know he didn’t hurt himself.
While I feel bad for him, as a separate 3rd party observer I find the situation to be hilarious.
May it never happen to me.
