Have you ever thought about fucking up a pitch on purpose

i fucked up enough without trying

Toyed with the idea. Then I realized I'm dealing with millionaires who could probably have me whacked with pocked change. If you don't want the job, do the honorable thing and quit.

Damn dude lool,what happened for you to think about doing some shit like that?You must be miserable working where you are.I'd rather quit unless you got personal beef with some of your bosses.

Have you ever tried throwing in subtle profanity? ie having the first letter of the sentence spell out things like fuck this?

It usually works out a lot better (ie no one finds it) and you can laugh a little in side it is being presented.

it was a joke. thought it would be funny, dont hate my job but thanks for the advice

Someone would really have to do something awful to compel me to sabotage a deal, like kick my dog....Though if I was the bystander at this fiasco I would enjoy the show. Not a show without a crash n burn.

You got to do something better than put a dong in a powerpoint presentation. Show up to the exchange in nothing but a banana hammock and body paint your firms logo and colors on your body. Get some airtime on Bloomberg and put a face to your companies name for everyone to see. Not sure if you would get pants by someone or put on the sexual offenders list first, but hey....not going to be me doing it.

Not quite what you want to do, but a good buddy of mine who is now a VP at a BB told me when he used to be an analyst, he would purposely make several very minor mistakes in the pitchbooks (typo, formatting error, etc) as "gimmes" for the associates. That way, when the associate found it, he would feel like he already provided value-add and wouldn't make up new work (re-do charts, slides, etc) for the analyst to do.
