I’m not a major Google shareholder, but if I were I would fire the management. I’ve never heard of such a large company itemizing an expense as trivial as staplers.

It’s pretty clear the company has lost its innovation culture.

> as trivial as staplers.

I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

Came here for Milton. Was not disappointed.

My company (mid sized software company) tried to eliminate plastic spoons from the break rooms. Not for any sort of noble environmental reason, either, but explicitly to cut costs. You can buy them in cases of 1000 for $7.20. I am a shareholder, but not powerful enough to call for the termination of whatever bonehead thought that was worth more than 2 seconds of thought.

$20 says the company that cared about the spoons had a special bathroom for executives.

You'll have a hard time finding anybody to take the other side of that deal.
