I feel like paying bonuses might not improve cash flow in the short term. It seems like a nice gesture, but it could strain resources.

Taking advantage of bulk discounts sounds like a good idea, but I wonder if it ties up cash in inventory. I need to think more about that.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the wording here. Does "automatically converts all the receiving e-mails" mean I need to create a rule that applies the category to all emails, or just the ones that match the criteria? I'll need to read this carefully.

Somebody call the CFO, we've got a cash flow emergency! Forget the bonuses, let's just start fining the employees instead.
