• Company has reported a RM4million pre-tax loss for the 3rd consecutive, while all your boss has just upgraded his brand new Lexus Harrier to the an even newer E-Class Merc.



• Every Friday evening after work, instead of having drinks together at the pub, the company accountants spend the whole night shredding documents. They call it a ‘good housekeeping practice’.



• Analysts have downgraded your company’s stock from a call of 'hold' to 'sell' to 'sell immediately' to "OMG, get the hell out NOW".
