You make it sound simpler than it is in practice. I have said
this before, a lot depends on the respect the co have for you.
You are usually, if you are any good and they are not very bad,
able to influence them to some extent. Sure, things get to be a
matter of compromise. But, for what it is worth, I like Andy
Dingley's starting position on this. You are a disgraceful
trollop Travis, a taxi for hire, a mercenary with no morals... I
want that you should attend my Thurs evening Ethics classes...
(Credit card details please?)
