What’s the chindiest cost cutting measure your company has taken?

Moengage is hosting a “flagship” event in their “home turf” and are asking employees not to come so they can save money on the number of plates served during lunch and the amount of beer bottles served.

What’s the cheapest cost cutting measure your company has taken so far?

The irony is that Moengage called an investor to whitewash their financial condition in a recent town hall.

I support that. Not because of the chindi aspect but because people waste a lot of paper in office washrooms.

BYO coffee, since office coffee machine now vends only the shittiest coffee. Single item only. When I joined it was 7, and then every month, something disappeared.

Also they don't store video surveillance footage to save cost. How do I know? Some stole my stuff in office, no one knows. Theft is quite common. Literally chindi attitude of both firm and employees.

Earlier, biscuits were kept as it intact in their packets. I often use to bring some packets back to my PG.
Now the biscuits are kept in jar after removing the package so that people don't take them home and eat only how much they want in office.
