Sketchiness.

I've been receiving a crash course in securities law for the past week and am still at it. Today's strip in my Dilbert calendar seemed particularly on point:

POINTY-HAIRED BOSS
I want you to negotiate the sale of our voice activated hassock business.

You're not allowed to lie, but I expect plenty of omissions, misdirections, exaggerations...

...unjustified optimism, lost documents, unclear explanations, gray areas and tactical ignorance. Oh, and say that we have other offers.

[To be fair, the case is not that ugly . . . or at least the ugliness does not involve the remaining defendant.]

Haha, so very true. I've heard stories about firms whose interview screening process works like this: they act really rude to you and then hire the ones who yell at them. D:
