I worked for a big three-letter computer company that:

• wouldn’t buy coffee, tea, or milk for the tearoom – we organised a club and paid $2 a week to buy them ourselves
• didn’t have rubbish bins in the office. All rubbish (including company confidential printouts) was to be taken out to the street and put in public bins on the pavement
• took out every second fluorescent tube in the office to save on power
• laid off nearly 100,000 staff because they only made US $6b that year
