My company posted 51 percent increase in 3Q profits ...

... so I wish someone would explain to me why we are unable to purchase ball-point pens, Scotch tape, and Post-It notes.

Also, I would like to know why my take-home pay so far this year is $12,500 ... this despite the fact that I work with extremely sensitive financial information.

2. If they bought all that and paid you more
they wouldn't be making a 51% increase, now would they?

3. Clearly the reduction in office expendables has contributed to this...
...unequalled growth.

Congratulations, everyone, and please continue to bring pens from home!

Or get fired.

Yours,
the CFO
