The last corporate job I had before going into business myself, was as a sales manager for a Fortune 100 company.

It was very common at the end of a quarter to have to call around to wholesale customers, and beg them to take a pallette of some poorly selling sku, telling them "Don't even unwrap it. Just stick it in a corner of the warehouse, and when the quarter turns, I'll authorize a return of the inventory, and give you a discount on something else to make up for the trouble."

Did it all the time.

    I made a ton of money building reporting systems which made it simple to identify this form of gaming sales numbers to fit targets.

    Thank you.

    So the bosses would know I was doing that? Who do you think told me to do it? LOL.
