Some time ago, my boss made an empty promise to another employee — something along the lines of “If we experience even marginal profitability by the end of the year, then we will…” There was no danger of this being fulfilled, since we have never, ever turned a profit.
Well, bafflingly, sometime around the beginning of this year, business began to boom. And so… the promise was kept.

Productivity is going to skyrocket!
