At the time I was with Panasonic Systems and Communications Company, which was still ran by very traditional Japanese management. They had acquired an infestation of Mitel managers, however. The first thing our new Mitel division manager explained was that for technical people who have contact with customers, it was important that they are lied to so that they keep buying things so that our division manager's numbers would look good. There was a slow exodus of quality people, including myself, but before I left, I did get to have some fun at the company picnic. Someone had made sure his wife did not miss her invitation and the opportunity to participate as was intended. The poolside confrontation between wife, mistress, and this jerk in front of representatives of the Matushita board did seem rather amusing at the time.
