Hey - recently appointed FD.
I'm well aware you want, and have already appointed, the highly paid and over-qualified staff you really want in your Finance department, and us three old 'uns with experience count for f##k all and are 5h1t at our jobs in your estimation.
We also know that 5h1t floats to the top and that we three on top are in all likelihood due for the chop very soon.
The three of us have been working our butts off this week, with no lunch breaks, and 11 hour days right through to finalise the poxy Finance report that carries your name, with every last pernickety amendment duly made. It would be nice or even polite, when you come up to our office from the sharp end downstairs if you just acknowledged we exist, rather than simply passing straight through to the Head of Finance's office without even a generic and token good morning to the department as a whole.
There, that's better.
