What suggestions do you have for management?
"Please listen to employees who find errors in your database. I routinely found errors in which more capable computers were listed with prices that were lower less capable ones in the same product line; the product listed on the main screen and advertised in the catalog was different from the one listed in the components of bundled offers, such that the customer would actually get the right computer for the price but with a slower processor, smaller hard drive, home version of Windows instead of the Pro version, etc., and Zones would have pay for its return, pay to ship the one the customer expected, and sell the more expensive model for hundreds below cost. So the more effective my ads were, the more Zones lost money, and because I tried to correct the errors, I was placed on report, and I had to leave."
