Embarrassment

The company just mandated that we use a new fax cover sheet that highlights the fact that the Trib. was the fasted growing newspaper in Florida. What's so bad about that? Half the cover sheet is COVERED with 2 charts that is bragging about this fact. Along with that there's a line at the top with a phone number how to subscribe and how to advertise. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that it is unprofessional of a business to have this as their coversheet. Honestly, when you are conducting business with someone, or getting info. to another business you are working with you want something a little more neutral. And as a very observant co-worker noted, "What's going to happen when the numbers change in the next cycle and they go down?"
I'll be printing off the old sheets and keeping a store for my team. We're fighting the man!
