Greg from accounting: “Not on my watch!”
Faceless manager: “And I won’t meet our KPIs!”
Sally from operations: “We could just be upfront with our customers and say that we’re raising our prices a little in line with inflation?”
Faceless manager: “Yeah, but then they’ll notice!”

Faceless manager: “Thank you Colin! That’s why we pay you the big dollars!”
