"some deals would be pushed out"
I like how multi-billion dollar companies can decide when they wish to include certain revenue.
I'm a freelance consultant. When my customer calls me in on the 16th, that's the day I bill. I don't have the luxury of "pushing out" my billing date because the customer has recorded that I worked for them on the 16th, not the 7th of the following month.
This is bullshit and should definitely be called out.
