 Posted: 04/17/05 - 19:55 Post subject: Corporate scandal - or what i really learnt in college...
so here we are one day before we have to hand in this term long project where we make a business plan, and last night we found out that our cracked out accountant set our service fees way beyond what was reasonable based on the research we had done showed us...
now we have to go back and "adjust" our results to justify everything we've done.
that's right, we're going to lie. LIE. and we'll never get caught because i have all the surveys at my house and the judges will never know the difference.
i haven't even graduated and already we're corrupt. oh my.

Holy crap! 
This gives me stomach aches reading this!! If you're anything like me, all the work you do...time spent...desire to do well...really matters. I can only imagine how you feel. Not to mention how it must feel to have to take a different approach that doesn't feel good to you in the gut.
I hope things go ok and good luck!!

i take solace in knowing that i am the one with all the surveys - and they could never prove it, they might just say "your results seem off" and we'd say "we wouldn't have known the difference" (since we're pretty much first to market the service... we have to set the price anyway).
oh, and i also have to BS where we did our surveying - since some of our people messed that up and really biased the results.
we'll be alright. you can't really cheat on this project - short of stealing other people's work. and we haven't done that. just had to do some rounding, if you will.
