A complete lack of willingness to sell, in any very serious way. Good product, but token efforts at sales only. This was neurotic more than an ethical stance.

A complete lack of willingness to sell, in any very serious way. Good product, but token efforts at sales only. This was neurotic more than an ethical stance. It wasn't sabotage if that means trying to be unsuccessful, it was irrational and deep-seated antipathy to asking anybody for anything including a few seconds of their time. If you're unreflective as an employee, some one will bump you out of it. If you're unreflective and a boss, nobody will.
