When your sales team collectively avoids delivering bad news

Our sales team has been inflating our pipeline numbers in the weekly forecasts because nobody wants to be the one delivering bad news to leadership and now we're three weeks from end of quarter and we all know we're going to miss by 40% but we're still pretending in meetings. I can see it in everyone's faces but we keep playing along.
