> For everyone else, you'd probably cry too. I sure did.
I remember a colleague (employee) crying because a third party vendor screwed up and tried to blame us which would have sent a multimillion dollar project down the tubes. What saddened me was she felt the need to apologize. It was a pure expression of frustration, anger, sadness, and exhaustion on a project we were all deeply committed to, produced by the brazen unfairness of this contract house.
It's not good to live in a culture that denigrates human expression. I'm glad rachelbythebay was able to express this.
* We were able to apportion blame properly, get a proper result from someone else, and make the regulators happy with no funny business.
