Default why are people so anal?

Our maintenance department wants to use some $30.00 piece of something that we have in inventory at our warehouse. The customer serivce guy talked to the Credit lady to see how to handles this. Our sales are close to $100M a year.

So then.... the assistant credit manager asked me if I knew anything about it.... "how do we want to charge the maintenance department?". YOU DON'T... WHO ****ING CARES.. IT IS $30.00...

How can people who are ~55, ~65 and ~45 years old collectively not figure this out?

I am rounded thousands baby.... if i am within $1k i call it a day...

this same Company used to do this when we would ship out free "buckets" (a $2.00 ****ing bucket). Properly, you would add up the cost of the buckets and charge the marketing department. So a stack of papers later, some spreadsheeting and you have a journal entry for $74.00.....

$74 / $100,000,000 = WTF!!!!!

Sounds like you could let the maintenance slide and just charge the marketing department for 15 more buckets.
