Easy. Just offer a lot of impossible to accomplish crap , in an impossible amount of time, for an impossible amount of money, then get your bonus check, have a nice dinner with your Premium Platinum hooker at a 5 star hotel, and laugh about "those stupid geeks" that have to make the impossible work.
You're right, and I am the "stupid geek" that has to make it all work. I even went on some sales calls with them. I was only there for tech support. About an hour before the demo the salesman turns to me and says, "you ready for your big presentation"? I said, "I'm just here for tech support". He says, "OH, well if you don't want to do it, that's fine". Thinking it would be a good opportunity for me anyways, I quickly reconfigured the application to better suit the potential client and decided to give the sales pitch. We got the sale, but I didn't get any commission! Jackasses!!!
It may seem like I am a schmuck letting everyone run all over me, but they pay me well enough I can put up with it!
