The best course I took at college was a Sales course. The prof was an ex salesman who said “if you take one thing away from this course, it won’t be from what the textbook tells you. It is this, don’t cheat on your expenses. I repeat don’t do it. So many people, smart people fired over what? $100. Your making $200K a year, bright future. Your SOL over $100. That is embarrassing and stupid but so many do it. You don’t do it”
I do the same thing with people I mentor now. Drill it right into them. Don’t get taken out being a punk doing punk a$$ things.
Sal could have used that lesson.
