Corporate IdiocyComedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

I managed to put a stop to this at my old companyI used to work somewhere of a similar size with about 200 employees. Sick with the constant harassment for loose change to be donated to people we hardly knew/actively disliked, me and my mate went round with a card and collection for Nigel, who was leaving the company. An hour later and we have a card full of inane platitudes and about £30 in cash.
We sent an email to all staff the following day thanking them for the £30 we had spent on booze the night before, saying that Nigel would not mind AS HE DID NOT FUCKING EXIST.
This soon stopped the practice of mass collections. Give it a go and see how you get on.
