"Good. I want to see the numbers ourselves, no third-party analysis. You understand the importance of this merger, right? No room for any surprises."
"I don't care how late it takes or how many hours you have to put in. I need those numbers on my desk by midnight. Anything less than that, and you'll regret it."
“Understood, Ms. Stern. We’ll make sure it’s done.”
"Alright then, I expect nothing less. Remember, the success of this merger is your responsibility. Make me proud."
"And remember, mistakes are unacceptable. If you're not confident in your work, then you don't belong in this company.
