European Cost Saving

by Kaiser Edamame

CEO: We saved 300m this year.
ME: But reported costs were up 200m and production was flat.
CEO: Well we measure our cost savings vs budget.
ME: Well what was the budget?
CEO: It was to spend 300m more than we did.
ME: Who came up with such a crappy low expectation budget?
CEO: Me.
ME: Cool. . .well done.
