I was in heavy industry (iron and steel) , culture probably different to your companies (who were they - your bean counters sound like they actually know their place in big picture.
Oh my goodness, no ! You have to treat them like real people, they are after all. Just mostly engineering challenged
Nope I mean keep em in the dark and feed em B/S.


You need some anti fungal spray mate, them toadstools do nasty things to your lawn and other stuff your growing. Stay away from them supermarket potting mixes, Woolies ones destroyed all my carrots and spring onions last year.

It was a financial officer who our business cases went through that gave me the tips on how to swing it. They not all bad.
Was mostly in semi-government outfits, but found that private sector guys were "persuadable" too. Its all in the approach.
