Mmmphhh!..<Gabe gulps hard> Sorry T, ate the last one.
Hmmm, there's got to be a way to compromise that point. Surely, the company can see the wisdom in an upfront investment. Maybe a three-way conference call will do the trick? I wouldn't let the company off scottfree, or this may set a dangerous precedent. Or it may merely reflect a flaw in the supervisor's character, huh?
On the other hand, a job would go well right now, I imagine.
