    I work for an OEM and the sales dudes have been getting reamed by our customers because they’ve had to deliver this news to folks like you. Sucks all around.

      I bet those sales douches are happy with the bonuses they will get.

      I don’t like sales dudes.

        We’re not really raising prices above costs, in fact we’re eating a lot of the cost increases ourselves to flatten the overall increase across the board that ends up with our customers. But a lot of them already made commitments to buy that we have to raise the price on through no fault of our own. And more are coming. So I don’t think the sales dudes are seeing any benefit tbh. Though you’re right to not like them.
