So when the reps heard that we had to pay for our own business cards, and how pissed off we were about it - it got back to the owners. Turns out a guy with his own Bentley and 727 doesn't want people to think he's cheap. Then they started paying for our business cards after that. I'm guessing if people start talking about how "cheap" and petty the firm is, the issue goes away.

Although my law firm didn't take away supplies, they did move them to a central supply room, and away from the supplies closet on each floor. Turns out that every August, the supply of pens, pencils, notepads, and notebooks took a precipitous decline. The cheap-bastard partners were apparently loading up for their poor children.
