>>decides to kick in profit to finish the program in order to satisfy
>>the customer. Less profit means less available for technology
>>development and employee compensation. Future customers are now
>>aware that the company cannot provide cows for the estimated budget
>>and schedule and your new business declines. Massive layoffs are
>>necessary, so you go to work for McGuckins Hardware- life is good.
