... and then one day your boss asks you prepare a report of alternative solutions based on all the "irrelevant" meetings you attended. Or, turns to you and says "now how do we automate all these things you've just heard about?".
As a late 30 something IT manager, I see all too often people sitting in meetings poking at whatever gadget they have on them only to be completely blind-sided when someone in the meeting asks them a question. Your boss may want you in that meeting as the information might be back story for a business problem that he or she is going to look to you to solve.
If you lose money on every sale and add volume, you're losing loads of money fast. That's hardly smart.
Sometimes there may be reasons to do this (like getting a foothold in a market), these tablets ain't it I think. Probably these are just write-offs, and any money they get for 'em is better than tossing the remainder of their stocks.
Apparently you missed the sarcasm-o-meter sitting in the corner.
I've been meaning to cancel my account. Thanks TFA!
On a side note, when one cancels an account Netflix asks what your primary source of TV and Movies will be. The last option for both is "Bootleg DVDs".
