    In 1996, working at a large telecom in Denver, we had a new VP come into our building (2,500 employees) and after they determined that the company was spending over $7,000 a month on "free" coffee for the employees, it went away. God forbid some corporate leaders take a pay cut. It's always the rank and file getting the shaft.

    FEDEX wasn't likely that large of an expenditure, if they were using it that often. A company like that probably has negotiated rates obtained for them by an account rep. For something like document envelopes, it was probably pretty cheap and the delivery was quicker and more reliable than mailing. For things like checks, it was better security. Purchase order and other expenditure sign-off is standard procedure in most major companies, which suggests they had been too fast and loose with letting people have spending authority and company accounts (cards, POs, etc). Security and cafeteria are more about personnel that they considered expendable. Probably anything not related to wrestling operations and merchandising. Insurance benefits and employee contributions are another easy target, without reducing staff.
    This is standard cuts to try to trim what they could control, but wasn't key to their core operation.

      Nowadays yes bcuz corporations have ruined our country & they try to save every nickle. Whereas back then employers used to care about their employees comfort bcuz they wanted people to stay 20-40yrs at their job. Now corporations have decided that 3-5yrs is all they want someone to stay. They'd rather train someone new, which allows them to save money by giving the new person starting pay instead of having someone stay for yrs & start making top pay doing the same job
