Power, as illustrated by a stapler
The accounting department in which I work would like an electric stapler. Being an accounting department that has grown from a staff of one, to a staff of four, and has not yet transitioned to a paperless system, we use a lot of staples.
Yesterday, I hear the person who orders the supplies say very loudly to another employee, “I am NOT going to order a $20 stapler!”
As though this expense will come out of her personal budget.
Office politics. Ugh.
