[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8482255, member: 4534"] That's fair. Most of our independent contractors have skills and/or are assigned to tasks that our employees aren't good at or can't do. And even if a corporation does have those assets, they might not be available when and where they're needed. Mid-Level Manager: Who the hell do these clowns think they are? If these Bozos think they can rip off SegAtari and get away with it they're going to be sorely disappointed. Tell Nancy I need to requisition our repo team. Ask for Sanchez, he's messy but gets results and I want to send a message. Assistant: I'm sorry, sir. If you'll recall, Sanchez's team took heavy casualties in our, uh, misunderstanding with the 6th Street gang in Vista Del Ray. Mid-Level Manager: Fine, how about Alex's team? Alex isn't as brutal as I want, but they know how to get results and I have confidence in them. Assistant: Their team is currently on another assignment for Wilson and... Mid-Level Manger: I'm not swinging a big enough stick to cross Wilson. Could we get Reddy's team here? Assistant: We could, but getting his entire team here in a timely manner would be, well, cost prohibitive. If I might be so bold, sir? We do have an outside resource who assisted us with smoothing over our relationship with the 6th Street gang. No doubt he knows of some resourceful individuals who might assist us with the Bozos for a reasonable fee. And we could pay this service fee using our discretionary funds. The employees won't get any soy ham for Christmas this year, but to management it'll look like you took care of the problem without incurring any additional expenses. [/QUOTE]
