Cooking the Books…

I originally decided to keep quiet about company woes, but it’s all out now. One of the major travel accounts in my office is Worldcom. ::cue dramatic music::

We handle business for another company (that is essentially the bread and butter account of the office), but I doubt their business will prevent further layoffs considering Worldcom owes our office $700,000 for travel services this year and will most likely not have to pay with the bankruptcy filing.

The ironic thing is that a lot of corporate travel agencies were able to stay afloat after 9/11 because business folks didn’t have the option to avoid air travel like leisure clients did. However, with the recent trend of shady accounting practices/number reporting, we’re probably in more trouble than some of the Mom and Pop leisure agencies.

Needless to say, my resume is a pretty popular document these days…
