Sanyo is losing money. The solution? Make everyone who works there buy Sanyo stuff!

Sanyo is expected to announce a loss of nearly $700 million for its most recent quarter, but fortunately the brilliant execs there have a plan: they're asking everyone at the company to pitch in and buy Sanyo products! Everyone,
from senior management on down, has guidelines for how much they're expected to spend. We're not experts or anything,
but we're pretty sure that begging your employees to buy their own company's products in an attempt to boost your bottom line is usually a sign that things are really, really not going so well. Sanyo spokesperson Ryan Watson, a man obviously skilled at soothing nervous shareholders, did make it clear that this "is not the first time we've conducted the 'buy Sanyo campaign.'" That makes us feel loads better.
