Cutting Costs In The Workplace Bond Style

Our purchasing manager asked the company grunts for any cost cutting ideas today. Instantly we had the predictable response of someone popping their head up over the pen and suggesting that the company "gives us all a sweater so they can cut the heating bills!".

Never one to let an opportunity such as this go by, I replied to the purchasing managers request will this email:

Suggestion: Switch off the lights when nobody is working. Should reduce the lighting costs by 100% in Purchasing.

On second thoughts you could buy everyone some nightvision googles:

Large one off cost, but would cut lighting costs to a minimum.

In a similar vein to the "sweaters" suggestion, just more James Bond.

Hopefully he won't read the suggestions before he presents them to his manager...
