A series of cutting animated videos blasting Wells Fargos sales incentives are getting a new life online in the wake of the bank settling federal regulatory probes that found its employees created more than 2 million bogus accounts slamming customers with $2.6 million in fees in order to meet branch quotas.

Yeah, but if you don't make your quota you get a $10 certificate to McDonald's.
Since the animation has some other silly claims, I suspect the McDonald’s one isn’t to be taken seriously. People aren’t that stupid. Or are they?
“Ditch-digging is a little slow for now, Smathers, so I want you to service the nuclear reactor.”
I was never a salesman and have great admiration for the good ones. Thinking all the skill sets in a company are interchangeable speaks of an executive who is heading for a fall.
At the very yeast.
