In Nov. 2002, my company (a dot com electronics retailer) laid off about 50% of the employees right before we launched a major addition to our website. So the day before Thanksgiving we have an all company meeting where they thank us for "hanging in there" through the tough times and launching the new additions to the site. To thank us, they present each of us with MP3 players. The then CEO then proceeds to tell us how "---____, the portable audio merchant got a great deal on 10,000 of them at 3 cents a piece." Wow! The dedication and attempts to keep morale up for the entire company was worth less than a McDonald's Value Meal.on the post: AdVent - best horrible line wins!

When working at a big PR agency, I had a Sr. VP on an account for a major computer/software company tell me to set up a new directory to house a newsletter hosted on one of our domains when we made some last minutes edits. She made me do this because some people from the client had seen the less than final version, and they were "importantant people who we can't be telling them to reload their browser!" to see the final version. I tried to explain that I simply meant to hit the reload/refresh button on the top of the browser window--not reinstalling software--but she just didn't get it.on the post: AdVent - best horrible line wins!
