lowdown: my CEO and President each own half the business. Both work on some of the same clients, but they have distinct areas of interest.

CEO is editor of a publication with about 800 subscribers, most of them clients, a handful paying subscribers, and the rest are comped to companies and government officials for marketing purposes. The value of the comps is about 1/10th of one percent of our income. The President, always out to make a buck, decided to invoice the comps. The CEO flipped out. In their yelling match, the President actually said this to her:
"The only reason you give those away is because of your ego. If you passed away tomorrow the first thing I'd do is cancel those complimentary subscribers."
(false on both parts, since he'd probably get rid of me first)
