“Our accounting team has informed us that, owing to larger than expected liabilities in the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year, exacerbated by accelerated inventory depreciation and higher taxes due to the repatriation of offshore funds, this firm will be unable to disburse dividends to common and class ‘B’ shareholders until the fourth quarter. To complicate matters further, we’re all cats and have no idea what any of that means.”
I’m selling my shares now, Sharon H.
“To complicate matters further, we’re all cats and have no idea what any of that means.”
Sounds about right…and I’m not even a cat.
Now where’s my jingle toy?
Ahahahaha. Thank God I wasn’t drinking anything
Is this the point where the boss tells me I have to stay late to help catch the red dot?
Leonard!
That’s ok. I’ll take snorgles instead of dividends.
Damn bean counters .. stop with all the words over 4 letters
I’ve actually been in meetings like this (sadly, without cats).
Leonard: (puts down jingle toy) – “What’s the problem? Just wait until the fifth quarter and things will sort themselves out!”
And Leonard that’s the exact attitude that got us into this situation in the first place! This is coming for someone who formerly worked in banking and man the crap that went on, you would not believe. During the 2009 financial crisis, the bank I worked at actually got taken over and shut down by the FDIC. If you want to peek behind the curtain and see why so many banks failed, read this about my bank http://htcreative.com/bankProject/?bankID=1165.
Same here, I worked in the industry.
Banking industry was a disaster waiting to happen. Now Trump wants to get rid of the regulations brought in to stop it happening again
“Fiduciary responsibility? Pleh. Where’s my catnip mousie?”
Stoopid boss doesn’t realize that jingle toys ARE serious. No wonder company is having financial difficulties.
