Paper trail/ office whingers

Glice · 05.29.2008, 12:44 PM

Right, this is probably the sort of thing that the office-y sorts are either going to sympathise with or think is ridiculous.

I'm getting increasingly annoyed with paper wastage. There's a series of processes in my office that are printed out for no ostensible reason. I work in IT. These people should understand that things don't actually go missing if they're not in print.

And this isn't because I particularly care about trees - oh no - it's because I'd like higher wages, and paper wastage is cutting into my potential pay rises.

Please take this opportunity to bemoan/ explain paper wastage or just have a good ole' whinge about things that annoy you where you work.

I am fucking sick of it too
My law firm went to a "paperless" system, but every single thing that comes in via fax and email is instantly printed, copied multiple times, filed and bound. fucking waste, and then when the case closes it all gets disposed of and shredded.
I hate ordering so much paper and toner and all that shit.

The whole buiding where I work recycles everything, including the paper cups that we use for tea/coffee. I have a separate bin for paper and a separate one for anything else.

I'd like more blow jobs from my boss.

jon boy · 05.29.2008, 12:54 PM

they took away a lot of the bins in my office so that people would recylce more but all they do is sit around wallowing in their own rubbish like some kind of serial sex offender because they cant be bothered to walk the two metres to the nearest bin.

I don't know what you want me to do with them, but I'm sure you don't want me to do with them what I'd normally do with them.

The only thing that annoys me at work is returning food. Talk about recycling.

These are all things that the building of the company I work in cares about. Everything, including lights, is switched off after work.
