Might be local government. Me and sales have this argument pretty often

Me: it is in the spec

Sales: no one noticed it except you

Me: thanks?

Sales: no one is going to care

Me: then take it out of the spec and resign everything.

Sales: why are you making a big deal about this?

Me: because it is in the spec that we signed and if we don’t honor the spec they can backcharge us.

Sales: that won’t happen

Me: you are right because we are going to follow the spec. If you don’t want me to please email me, the department head, and the client specifically ordering me not to follow the contract that we signed.
