unions

Mine got our whole department of 9 people lunch once every 2 months from a local pizza place for maybe $100 each time. My bosses, bosses, boss apparently complained of how much was being spent on lunches.

To put that to a scale, I ordered between $10k-$20k in supplies each week. I cleaned out my area one day and threw $20k of unboxed equipment in the trash without any need to check with anyone. Corporate netted $70M a year off our small operation. That profit was, to them, a drop in the bucket.

Those lunches must have looked really bad on paper.
