Glenn, I worked for a baby bell. Have years worth of stories. A fellow salesperson with a "creative" nature was writing up and turning in calling plans with very large commitments for his customers. He was at the very top of his sales group, and singled out for recognition and awards, as this continued. He was also collecting some very large commission checks and bonuses, as were his manager and others up the chain. Everybody was happy until the complaints started coming in from his customers who were being penalized monetarily for not meeting the minimum requirements of the calling plans. When his boss realized what the "star salesman" had done. He pulled him aside and gave him an ultimatum. "Leave quietly, today. If you do, we won't prosecute." They didn't want the public service commission or the FCC to get wind of what had happened. Turns out there was a lot of "creativity" going on at the time. A whole lot. The "star salesperson" received an excellent recommendation from his former boss and ended up working at, of all places...a bank! True story. Ron |

![]() Thanks Ron,
Funny. I had a client who used to do PR for Corporations before he started working for himself. One Company he worked for a GIANT Photo Biz - which is now Gone. (BIG SURPRISE.) He went from building to building to learn what he could write about to do his PR thing. Found a Prostitition Ring - Using Pretty Employees - being run out of one hi-rise office building. He QUIT soon afterwards. I'd LOVE to have been able to interview the MANAGER of that building! Either she was IN on it. Ran it himself. Or was OBLIVIOUS. WHATEVER the case he or she would be AMAZING to watch in action. Thanks, Glenn |
