Fired Norse Corp CEO blames the media

raving angry loony

Sales weasels.

quote: sold product capabilities that Norse simply didn't have in place yet.

So how is this different from any other company I worked for? Sales were always selling stuff that didn't exist, then blaming the techs when we told them (and the client) that it couldn't be done. I lost a lucrative position because I had I point out to the client that the functionality claimed by the sales rep simply didn't exist in what they had been sold. Although it was the sales weasel that lied, I was the one turfed from my position. Sales is about lying and getting away with it. I fail to see ho this company was any different from others?
