hypothetically speaking of course.
what if you were just informed that the mock up screens, and working mock application you're developing got so much praise, and is so much better than first thought, is going to 100% for sure kill off one of your competitors.
i mean, if you knew that once this product is released another company within a year or so will be out of business, with another one possibly gone within 2 years.
would that sit well with you guys knowing that something you developed is going to put 2 companies out of business?
hypothetically speaking of course.

Being nice never gets you anywhere in the business world, sad but true.
The only people who are nice, have alterior motives that just haven't come to fruition yet.

Also, I was in a meeting with our HR Department and they were talking about having to let some people go and how hard it is ... I asked if I could fire them.
I wanted to be the axe man!!!!
They actually pondered it for awhile, but figured since we rarely go out of our way to fire people that being a permanent axe-man wouldn't be necessary and that doing it once or twice would give everyone in the company the wrong impression, haha.
But boy would I love it.
Me: Hey Kevin thanks for meeting up on such short notice.
Kevin: Yea, sure thing Jerome, what's up buddy?
Me: Well, I got some good news and some bad news. The good news is you're fucking fired!! YOU ARE FUCKING OUT OF HERE!!! YOU'RE FIRED AHHHH!!!! AHHHH!!! GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY FACE AHHHH!!!!
Kevin: ...
Me: AHHH!!! FUCK YOU FUCKER AHHHH!!! YOU'RE FIRED AHHHH!!!!!
Kevin: ... There's bad news too?
Me: Oh yea. Hrm ... guess just good news, sorry about that.
Kevin: You're a real fu--
Me: YOU'RE FIRED AHHHH!!!!!!

I live my life by the Machiavellian Code.
I read all about his life, and almost all of his work by the time I was in 5th grade and I swear everything is fucking true.
Fuck Darwin, step up your game on Niccolo.

*throws a canadian quarter on her desk ... those things don't even work in the vending machine ... nor would it even be close to the dollar needed to get such soda.

2) I can run a mile pretty quick and can do like 5 or 6 pullups so I am pretty fit. Cool. I think I'm ahead of the game. :)

(Aug 31 06, 07:51)yup. If someone I knew was personally affected then it would bother me for some time, but I would still do it.

k0na - think of it as you are allowing some people to move on with their lives and be more productive, rather than working at a company that isnt proactively protecting themselves in the marketplace.
I will call it.

You just have to weigh what's more important:
