One job I worked, the department got an email asking who needed
business cards and notepads with the company logo on them ?

All of us keeping the computer running, which tracked lots of things
the company needed to keep cash flow running, replied.

There was a hissy fit from management. We were told we weren't
important enough to get either business cards or notepads with company
logo on them.

We responded with something like 'So, even though we do things so you
and everyone in this company gets paid, we aren't important. Got it.'.

One manager said we could be fired and replaced. One of the day shift
guys pointed out fast food places pay better, with better hours.

Our boss pointed out we two night shift guys had been hard to find as
no one wanted to work 12 hours at night.

We didn't get business cards, but we did get the notepads.
'From the Desk of: my name'.

Same company, the woman who made sure accounts payable/receivable got
done on time was told she didn't need an office with a door. The CFO
intervened and tried to get her one. The Owner said no. She eventually
quit, and went with a competitor who paid her much more than she was
getting paid there, and got an office with a lockable door.
