She said, "It works for Richard Branson." Thanks for the idea, but (a) I just couldn't be bothered (funnily enough, much like the rest of the employees - must be something they put in the water cooler); (b) the company's line of business is one that would require a very large amount of capital to enter the market. Hundreds of thousands at least, I would guess. Interesting - my sister made exactly the same suggestion: that I should start up a competing business and undercut them.

Then you know the true pain of sloppy work. If the company your work for is still in business with such poor practices, the profit margins are obviously very wide. They have a lot of fat that could be trimmed. Ever think about doing that fat-trimming yourself, by starting up your own business to compete and destroy them? Try working for the government.
