1. they're used to being catered to |
|
so when they can't get their way even once it is completely foreign to them, and they overreact
i don't completely blame them; they just play the game, it's all the suck ups and cheats out there who really corrupt em

It would be better if they said something like, "The organization brought in $900 million this year. I think I am at least entitled to $20 million of that!"
A little honesty would go a long way.
