Our sales department have a pretty good conversion rate , I have seen what were once honest and upstanding engineers who have ventured into sales support being turned into outright liars.

That's part of the job. Simple scenario (from my last employer):

[Sales] Yes our e-commerce system supports heirarchical variant options
[Customer] Great! Can I have it by Friday

Followed by:

[Sales] Can you hack a multivariant system with heirarchical product options into X by Friday or we're SOL.
[Tech] YOU ******* TOLD THEM WHAT????
[TechMgr] **** this tulip - I'm going for a fag.

How long have you been posting on this forum? Have you only just realised that I'm in love with Franco and desperately want to take it up the gary????

If that's the case I suggest you visit the YMCA gym in London. You will recognise Francko as the short, hairy, scared-looking, muscle bound bloke narcissistically staring at himself in the mirror, while muttering to himself about "bullies", after which he will pop out for a couple of cigarrettes.

Are you one of Francko's gay body-builder gym mates?

The answer, Franco darling,

The answer, Franco darling, is to work for me. I can just about get my arse into my pants each morning, yet have managed to blag a six month contract extension

Let's face it, the more years I work and the more I realise that all the skills are completely useless. And in many case not only useless but counterproductive indeed. So many times knowledge proved to be a burden rather than a help.

So how do I go learning about bullsh1tt1ng? Is there a course of study somewhere?

Read all my posts. I am actually a very precocious, yet very bored, only child aged six.

Point of order: Grasshoper was the student! Name the master?

Good point - you are quite right! No idea who the master was and am not going to cheat and Google for it...
