I recently heard of a company
that wanted to save money on staffing
so they didn’t replace a key admin person.
They ended up missing a major tax deadline
and paid penalties
equal to a year of that person’s salary
(the FULL cost, benefits and everything).
This happens… a lot!
A huge chunk of my billings
is from cleaning up messes made
by missing staff.
I know that
the chorus for corporations
right now
is cut, cut, cut
but don’t cut so deep,
the costs outweigh the savings.
