Questions 8-11 refer to the following memo
FROM: Vice President of Opt rations
To: All employees
For the past three months, a team from the financial department has been investigating ways for our company to cut costs They delivered their final report to me yesterday, and I'd like to share the results with you
The number-one way we, here at Symbolite Publishing, can lower our overhead is by conserving office supplies For example, the investigative team found that we use over 56,000 sheets of paper every week
Not only is this excessive, but it is unnecessary By utilizing digital document formats and
communicating by email, the financial team believes we can reduce that number to 12,000 sheets per week or less That translates to a yearly saving of nearly $23,000
In order to encourage smart use of office supplies, I am designing a training workshop to be attended
by all employees I will meet with department heads tomorrow to determine an appropriate schedule and format, with the hope of beginning the sessions sometime next month Until then, please be conscious of the ways you use office supplies and how you could use less
Thank you
