The High Cost of Cheap

Senior buyer Claire's $640k full-service plan is publicly called kickback fraud by new hire Madison, who found a $320k bare-machine quote online. The boss sides with the low price, replaces Claire, pays 96% upfront—and gets refurbished, substandard machines. Madison brags about "saving half" and jumps to a better job. Claire fights back with evidence, recovers every dollar, and buys 75% of the company to become CEO.
