Accounting for Beans

As mentioned previously HR and Accounting usually have a close working relationship with various input and concerns regarding budgeting, recruitment, training, forecasting etc., which for the most part have parameters set and guidelines discussed.

So with all the previously mentioned big ticket items, why oh why am I crucified over ordering supplies?

No Joke!! I received an email from the CFO asking why I order so many coated paperclips and boxes of pens!! REALLY!!! I order one box of pens at the end of every year, which will last through the end of the next year! The same with paperclips, one box of coated colored paperclips which include both regular and jumbo size, and I am viewed as being a spend thrift!!

Well it all comes down to this, lets look at the money wasted on some of the useless mid-level Bobs who have yet to demonstrate any intrinsic company value and compare these $$$$$$$$ to my annual staples supply invoice $$. Account for them beans why don't cha!!

And we're off...
