They’re back and in business!
Good news, everyone! We can now reopen Planet Express and start delivering packages again!!
YAY! We have our jobs back!
But remember we can’t make the same mistake we did 4 years ago..
(4 Years Ago)
FLASHBACK
Hey guys, I was just thinking, wouldn’t it be faster to cut out all this paperwork? If we did that, we could spend more time doing our
real jobs.
That does sound like a good idea. I hate doing all these corporate
resolutions.
Wanting to dedicate more time to working in the delivery business, the
shareholders and directors of Planet Express decided to limit annual meetings
and cease up-to-date record keeping.
That’s it! I’m tired of working here! You, shareholders, are discriminating against me just because I’m a Blob! That’s RACIST!! I’m suing!
Go ahead! We’re a corporation. That means we have limited liability- you can’t sue the individual shareholders.
Hahaha, yes! I knew it wasn’t hopeless. I’m going to take
everything you own.
But to be a corporation, you need to act like one- that means, doing paperwork.
ARGHHHH! What did we do?! I totally forgot about substance over form and now we lost our
rights as a corporation!
Yea thanks to your bright idea, we’re all in a lot of
trouble.
Meaning we don’t have limited liability and can now
be sued at the individual level.
NOOO!!!
Planet Express’ Shareholders and Board of Directors were sued and lost
everything they owned. It took them 4 years to recover and
reopen.
It took us forever, but we’re back in business!
But this time, we aren’t going to take short cuts. We learned our lesson!
Planet Express started to keep minutes of their annual meetings
and filed the correct paperwork.
As a result, they became more
successful than ever!
