Update: 'The company is going to lose $8M': Boss dismisses financial officer's advice and pays the price

Some business leaders prioritize sales above all else, offering hefty incentives to their sales teams for acquiring new clients at unserviceable rates. These leaders and their cronies will then cash out once the numbers have been sufficiently plumped up like a stuffed pig with an apple in its mouth.

The nightmare begins when it comes time to service these contracts. Inevitably, slowly, the organization will begin losing money but, by then, those responsible will already have their bonuses in hand for a "job well done." And before anyone figures out why (or how) in the heck the ship is headed directly towards the rocks, those responsible will have jumped—long gone, on their way to their next grift. Those remaining will be scrambling, attempting to put the ship back on course, but stuck with a boatload of contracts that are springing leaks in the company's financial viability.

It's not uncommon for those who seek to speak reason to their bosses to be faced with derision instead of thanks, but when you're specifically employing someone to tell you what you shouldn't be doing, you should probably listen to them.
