I work for a fortune small-cap company, we have 500m in sales per year, more money than we know what to do with, and we never pay our bills. It's a little game the accounting department likes to play. This has caused a problem more then once as engineering (my department) was unable to obtain specialized equipment due to not having paid the vendor previously. The most quixotic thing is, engineering expenses are scrutinized heavily. I literally can't get basic equipment needed, yet we have 100's of unnecessary managers flying all over the world on lavish expense accounts. Why did I become an engineer again?
