This is a question The Dirty Secrets of Your Trade

So, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.

We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

Business Consultancy
I tend to work for some of the less salubrious sectors of industry, i.e. oil companies and arms manufacturers. So when they have issues that should by law be reported to the relevant authorities, it's our jobs to do a bit of "damage limitation". I believe in most circumstances it would be called lying.

Whacking 15-20% on top of any expenses, especially those purchased for my own use, like a week's shopping from Tesco, before the invoice goes to the client is pretty commonplace.

Much worse goes on, but as it's all illegal I'm not going to mention it. I'm sure you won't be surprised once I mentioned the word "consultant".
