[QUOTE="Average at Best, post: 331158, member: 14548"] Is anyone else out there having issues with the Accounting Department? This might be a thread more for the management people, but our friendly local accounting people are handling the recession/rising cost of gas by making us keep track of every expense, literally. They came up with a spreadsheet to input everything we buy during the month (uniforms, office supplies, etc), and we are literally budgeted for PENS. You know those cheap twisty brown pens? They are 50 for $2.00 in the ordering system....and I am only allowed to by 100 this month. I have to update it every time I incur an expense, and if I go over, I am getting a sit down with the center manager and controller. Really? Are things that bad that they need to keep me within $4 of my monthly budget? Anyone else have this coming up, or is just my insanely micromanaged district? P.S. to drivers: any of you delivering naked or in raggedy uniforms? Because those are budgeted closely too. I am only allowed to order three pairs of shorts for my guys this month.... [/QUOTE]
