Two summers ago I worked for CanWest and literally EVERYTHING they did was pen and paper. If you got an email, you printed it out, wrote a response on the printout and then faxed it back to the original sender. Seriously.
Also, Sales guys party. I have never been to more events with douchey boomers doing partydrugs and trying to bag interns, all on the company card of course.
This article seems all the more poignant considering the company recently circulated an email about cutting costs.
In addition to putting a freeze on all hiring and equipment purchases, the company also saw fit to cut all food from staff meetings and encouraged us to “use discretion when printing.”
I found that last bit somewhat odd coming from a company that sells newspapers…
