What are things to watch out for, or some ways this might all go sideways?</p><p>— Anonymous</p></blockquote><p>Jesus motherfucking Christ on a stick. Is it 1995 where you work? That’s the only way I can try and read this plan like it makes sense.</p><p>It’s a giant waste of money and no, it won’t work.
