By coincidence, I have witnessed this just last night. No details will be provided to protect identity, I'll just say you probably heard of the company.

It's staggering.

What industry?
manufacturing.
You don’t happen to be the guy who overnighted a bunch of network cables for $5,000 because the boss had to have them overnighted and the company didn’t care what it cost I read about recently? lol
Oh for these silly escapades to only cost $5k.
