So:

• Incentivise older team members with coloured beads and pretty shells to reduce TCO by reducing fiduciary compensation.
• These items have have perceived value among these human resources and can be collected on Margate beach by interns.

?

I'd say more like:

• Encourage early retirement in older members of staff and side line those that won't quit into supporting roles
• Hire in young and inexperienced staff straight from university / WalkAbout bars - benefits are that they require lower salaries as they still live with their parents and it brings that 'startup' vibe to the company which will attract investors

The bonus is indeed the important thing here. Now get back to the server dungeon or whatever.

Stupid young programmer insists on using outmoded techniques, completely ignoring who has kept up with the literature of how to develop robust, maintainable applications. Usually it's the other way round.

TL;DR Cheap employee dramatically increases TCO of application.

Not that, as a manager, you care, as employment costs are immediately visible whereas TCO is over the lifetime of the application. By which time you've moved on.

• Best practice for handover requires clear procedures and methodologies to change toner in a manner that provides growth opportunities. Win-Win.
• Reduce consumable budget by 15%.
• This is not the first time that a whole industry has been destroyed by the British Government and it won't be the last.
• Let's not kid ourselves that we will be missed, everyone will get poorer, the deficit will get larger and economists will write books that blame Brexit.
• The trend is your friend. Observe the market trend, the moment lower highs are no more you get the @£$ out. No ifs no buts. ACT.

Added Scoots contribution. Scooter, may I have a graph a collateral for my next slide. I might find your bullet point hard to explain.

Hey, I am management. Could someone explain this for me?

I will settle with being brushed off with statements like "Inefficient use of resources when compared to world class business practice" that I can plug into my next ppt no matter what the topic I am presenting.

Thank you Greg. Ever dependable.

I'm out-sourcing it to a managed print service to stop these unwashed cretins cluttering up the management office suite. Let them pick fruit!

Just some squabble over how to change the toner cartridge or some such.
