Again, my questionis: How do you cross the line?

Veo que marcas una linea en concreto de su vida. Me pregunto por que? Habra algun tipo de causa-efecto ahi?
I hope it's not a cause-effect. I hope it's just the exception that confirms a rule :-)
Seguro que muchos McKinsey´s y Deloitte´s y otros cruzan la línea. Lo que pasa es que no les pillan. Este es un buen escarmiento y un buen aviso a navegantes. Tranqui "new yorker" no te veo yo como mangante.
Cuando pasan estas cosas siempre me acuerdo de la historia que contaba el abuelo en tono de sátira sobre "TODO HOMBRE ES UN MARICA", solo depende del precio.
El precio subía subía, hasta el límite que uno tuviese que siempre lo había.
Y al final el cuento finalizaba. Ya tenemos el Maricón, ahora solamente nos hace falta $$$ para lograrlo.
Gallina Clueca!!! Menudo comentario!
Puede ser cierta la moraleja, pero el ejemplo es un poquito bruto, no?
