If you are not receiving timely financials, I hate to inform you that you are at risk for the above scenario. You may trust your bookkeeper implicitly...in every embezzlement case this was true.
Hickeys: A Mark of Unprofessionalism
March 18, 2008, 9:25 AM

If you look at Office Depot's price for a 11 pt. colored end tab folder with 2 fasteners their price is $37.99 per 50 compared to this supplier American Corporate Services who charges freight, their price for the same product is $27.95 per 100. So if you bought 500 Folders Office Depot would ship it free for $379.90 and American Corporate Services would charge $125.00 for folders (their prices drop with the more you buy) and would charge approx. $20.00 shipping. So Office Depot is charging $234.90 more for free shipping. Be careful with free freight it may not be the deal you think it is.
You can check pricing on American Corporate Services & Office Depot just google their names.

Let me offer you an alternative perspective. As with many minor annoyances that we face on a daily basis, the problem of hickeys is of our our own making: in business we often develop a set of standards for what constitutes professionalism that in reality has little to do with actual effectiveness.
On the other hand, if the industry were to accept workplace hickeys unilaterally from the beginning, it is likely that neither employees -- nor customers -- would see any difference in the execution of business.
The reason I feel inclined to comment is that superficial issues such as these globally affect the efficiency of the industry. I.e., our economy literally becomes weaker because we are focused too much on appearance and too little on action.
My advice would be to take hickeys at face value (as simply a sign of a normal, healthy sex life), and focus on the things that really matter.
