Gawain 0 #12 October 9, 2008 Quote...for a week of wining and dining top salespeople. This is not an uncommon practice for any company. The money was likely spent long before the loan was made. The top-sales people for any large company generate a significant amount of revenue, and this "fancy" expenditure was a mere fraction of the revenue these sales people made. It's unfortunate that it's being painted the way it is, the people whom the event was for did everything and beyond to keep money flowing in to the company in the first place. Perks like this for top sales people are really nice, and worth the money, believe or not.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!
