Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Stingy bosses
Who's the stingiest employer you've ever worked for? In how many different ways did they demonstrate that they were tighter than a duck's arse? Even better if the poor staff suffered so the bosses could treat themselves to endless luxuries - vent your spleen.
For myself, it would have to be the ones who rented, yes rented a Christmas tree for the staff canteen. They only paid the rent until Christmas Eve, though. So the rental company turned up first thing on the 24th and dismantled then removed the one wee bit of Christmas cheer in the place! The same people saved money on cards for the staff by scanning on/downloading a picture of Santa and sending it to us all by internal email. Bah Humbug!
Come on, I'm sure most of you have much better stories than this!
