Clipping

Short changing the client by cutting corners. Here, a job was negotiated. A serviceman represents himself as a competent professional. He works on the job, it takes longer than he thought so he forces a quick end to the job by reducing the quality of his work thus speeding up the project.

1. Some jobs turn out to be drag-on's, something that no reasonable person could have anticipated. The businessman must bear the cost of the unforeseen complications and responds by lowering the quality. see "forced quit."

2. Clipping as a way of life for a business to make higher profits. Here they misrepresent the quality of their work and use a flimsy excuse to leave a job to make another appointment.

3. The disparity between the needs of the business office to move things along and the actual needs of the serviceman on location. The office forces its way to move the job along to make greater profit
