Printer Problem



Do you have that person in your office who prints EVERY email he or she gets? And then they don’t pick them up on the shared printer for days? That was acceptable maybe 10 or 15 years ago when the older co-workers were still getting used to email, but c’mon. Most of us have adapted and realize we don’t have to print every single email. So yeah, you go to the printer and you pick up your document and you accidentally pick up his or her email regarding their dental appointment or something. They’re printing dozens of pages per day. And where do these pages end up? I honestly don’t know. Is there a giant filing cabinet somewhere that the rest of us don’t know about? This person’s filling about a drawer-full per week. 

It sounds cold, but somebody needs to start a “Do Not Email” list and these folks need to be on it. Remove their email privileges. They’ve proven that they can’t handle the concept, and they’re costing companies around the world valuable paper and ink.  

Oh, and by the way, I’d better not catch anybody printing out the “Do Not Email” List!
