"If true - it's just another attempt by a desperate bunch of short sighted accountants, trying to ensure their bonuses."
Lets get two things straight:
1. Accountants very rarely get bonuses...and if they do, its very little; and
2. decisions such as what you're talking about are made by SENIOR MANAGEMENT (the majority of whom are NOT accountants except for the CFO), especially operational managers/GMs with limited input from accountants.
Thats like me saying 'the pilots who serve drinks/food on the plane aren't very good" or something (generalisation).
*rant off...we don't need to see identification, these aren't the droids we're looking for, move along...move along*
