Have you ever bought a car? The salesman is on your side, you two are a team. I’m going to bat for you with my manager, wait here while I go and give it my best shot. Ooooh, I tried my best, but here’s the lowest my manager would go. I’ll tell you what, I’ll give up part of my commission to meet you halfway. You want me to make a few dollars, right? We’re a team here, you and me.
Kind of like good cop, bad cop. I am the good cop. We are the bad cop.

We, us, our, etc. You represent a fucking company, you fucking self absorbed gits. (no offense to the people who actually own the company, you can refer to it as whatever you want) Im not lashing out at anybody on this list, just having a nervous tick day carry on -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
