Uh, right.  I don&#x27;t think so.<p>I&#x27;m sure it went like this:<p>&quot;Now, I&#x27;m not telling you to do anything illegal, but if you don&#x27;t pass those emissions standards on the next deadline, you&#x27;re fired.&quot;<p>At each level down the chain.<p>I actually saw this in action at a big company subcontracting division to two younger employees (one male and one female): &quot;We need that contract.  Period.  Your expense account on this unlimited and unaudited.  Make sure you go pull enough cash that you don&#x27;t have to put anything embarrassing to the company on the card.  I&#x27;m not telling you to do anything illegal, but if you don&#x27;t close that contract, you don&#x27;t have a job Monday.  Anyhow, make sure the client has a good time this weekend.  See you Monday.  Maybe.&quot;<p>They closed the contract.  No one asked what it took.  I left that job post haste.
