No no, they run the *entire* company like this.

According to Wolfram, my employer lost almost 1 million USD last 
financial year. Consequently, there is a spending freeze on *everything*.

Then again, even back when we were making a profit, the company attitude 
has always been to avoid investment wherever possible. I guess it's just 
a very short-sighted company.

Perhaps. But I've met plenty of people who *don't* work for this screwy 
company, and most of them aren't exactly loaded either. (With a few 
notable exceptions.)
