Mangaement:Quick accounting! This is a huge deal for IRS this year I read about it in the WSJ. Get this, they are going to start taxing employees for the gourmet meals. Don't give me that look - Of course ... we ... will ... reimburse our employees for this. Accountant: So... for every employee we need to do an infinite sum series for a given taxable income based on the fair value of how much they have eaten... Management: Ewwph. Huh? Accountant: We don't even track this yet... Management: We'll take what we pay on food and divide by the employees Accountant: This would create a tragedy of the commons scenario that will destroy morale... Management: Ewwph... how... we weigh each employee before and after they enter and exit the building AND restroom and find their weight differential. Then we apply that to a $/weight_delta factor to get their taxable income!! Accountant: No ... Fuck no. Management: Then how about we make employees pay for their meals and then reimburse afterwards like we do with our expense reports! So simple - literally just thought of that. Accountant: Most sensical thing you said today, but accounting would collapse under the weight of all of those expense reports. Management: Spoil sport. No more free lunches.
