    How Cheap is Your Company?

    I don't know how many millions this place turns over every month but I still have to ask the CEO for a new whiteout. The rest of the stationary is looked after by the receptionist but whiteout and highlighters are under lock and key in the Bosses office.
    At least 50% of IT is a solution looking for a problem.

              Strange thing with a previous company i worked for the owner was stingy about everything.
              Except for stationary. There was no control and with a bit charm the office ladies would give me a proper $3 gel pen
              everyday until i had like 30 in my glove box...
              Whatever

                I have been doing this job for a lot of years and can count on one hand the number of times I have needed white-out. Why do you need so much white-out? What are you trying to hide???

                      Haven't got one, pencils with erasers on the end cost more.

                          Using recycled rags to clean/service machines, instead of using tear off's from a larger roll of Chux(dish wipes).

                          I would go an buy my own larger rolls of Chux by the carton, four x rolls to a carton.
                          The Boss wasn't overly happy about it, but he never paid for the Chux so he couldn't whinge.

                            they didn't afford me the luxury of PENS. Hell.. I had to use MY PERSONAL Lapper since THEIRS crapped out after 4 months (yeah 2nd hand no warranty) but no longer tied to their chains!
