These aren't the sales droids you're looking for

I especially enjoyed this post at The Cranky Product Manager, having experienced a similar bait-and-switch with Sales in a previous job. Plus, the description of the CEO is hilarious:

So, the CEO calls the Cranky Product Manager into his office. After complimenting her hair and the way her jeans fit, asking her if she is still happily married, and trying to give her a George-W-style shoulder rub, The Big Boss tells her to drop the price to the one the Droids are begging for.
