You know the sales rep who says, "When I’m a manager, I will never be like this jerk I work for." Although, the minute they get promoted, they become the same jerk. Why does this happen? The simple answer is: It's all they know!
One of our lawyers shared with me her recent car-buying experience. She explained that, after forwarding an e-mail containing the terms she received from the “X Organization” to the “Y Organization,” to see if the “Y Organization” could beat the “X Organization’s” price, she received an e-mail from the general sales manager of the Y Organization.
As soon as this e-mail landed in her inbox, my colleague decided to cross the “Y Organization” off her list.
