Heh. Well, if training is the issue, then I think the problem is really 
that the guys with their fingers on the master controls don't really 
know what they're doing. Our people over here really don't have access 
to very much. It's more the people at HQ who seem to need educating on 
how to work the software (not to mention how to do accounting...)

Apparently each year you have to get external auditors to come in and 
check the books. Well one year, the people HQ hired eventually walked 
out and refused to complete the audit because the books were too much of 
a mess.

And these are the people saying my wages. Should I be concerned?

(Bennie seems to think that the wages they're paying me are a "ripoff" 
anyway, and that I should leave before the company goes under. Hmm.)
