THE TOP TEN WAYS TO KNOW YOUR COMPANY IS ON THE ROCKS

by Jezz

Ahhh... the joys of company ownership in Fed are many and varied. But as we all know, sometimes things go awry. Prompted by the rash of shareholder rebellions detailed in the Spynet Financial reports lately, I asked my fellow Fedizens for signs that things are not all rosy in the CEO's office. And here are...

The Top Ten Ways to Know Your Company is on The Rocks.

10. The first thing people say to you when you log on is "You haven't dd'd yet?"
9. You realize that declaring bankruptcy would increase your company's balance!
8. You check the company finances and realize that with no dividends paid out, you don't have enough to repair the factory you have, let alone replace the ones you lost.
7. The Bankruptcy Officer is camping outside your office and says he'll stay to the bitter end... but he has only packed for two days.
6. The only thing holding your factories up is the kindling stacked against the walls by the PO.
5. You show up at your usual office location and find it has been rented to a new CEO.
4. Your shareholders greet you warmly and can be seen rubbing their hands together each time you log on.
3. When you say "Does anyone have factory space?" even Meteu gets quiet.
2. Your working capital goes into a deficit by selling one bay of soya to your depot as a factory input.

And the number one way to know your company is on the rocks is...

1. Even your own alts won't buy shares in your company.


My thanks to Kalandra, Shrevo, Dewey and Zardoz for their warnings to the errant factory owners amongst us. Oh, and one finally warning...

Your comm unit crackles with a message from Mentallyhayzed, "You're on the rocks when you start take'n company and factory advice from me"
