That sounds a bit like "enron-onomics" to me....

You may want to place a call to the appropriate federal regulatory agency...

that's "just the way it is" - my co-worker was asked once, for his opinion on how the company could save money. he suggested trimming some of the perks for the executives. needless to say, they did it by laying off a bunch of workers and outsourcing more of the work. does it sock? heck yes!!! but, it's more or less the s.o.p... anyway, back to topic.
