Five years ago when Bobby Bret joined Crystal Productions as a junior accountanthe felt that he was on his way up. He had just graduated with a B+ average fromcollege, where he was well liked by his peers and by the faculty and had been anofficer in several student organizations. Bobby had shown a natural ability to getalong with people as well as to get things done. He remembered what Roger Friedman, the controller at Crystal, had told him when he was hired:´I think youwill do well here, Bobby. You¶ve come highly recommended. You are the kind of guy that can expect to move right on up the ladder.´
