they set all the printers to print on the front and back to reduce our paper usage, although it takes the printers 2 to 3 times longer to do it that way. :confused: better than pay cuts i guess.

You think that's bad? We don't have urinal cakes in the bathrooms anymore and they switched the soap from nice soft soap to the foam crap.

Oh, and installed new faucets they barely put out enough water. To print in color or not two sided B/W you need management approval and a form signed and use their password to the printer.

Maybe for your printer, but for the one at my college it takes like the same time...

3 page letter sent out to us today said it would be "good" if we worked more than 45 hours a week. It would be "good" for them to suck my balls.

LOL

they did that too at our workplace, in an effort to be more "green"

too bad we ONLY print on single sided paper, so we had to throw sooo many sheets of paper away because people forgot to toggle the "single side" option.

that lasted about 2 weeks.

We are not allowed to go thru boxes and boxes of ink pens anymore. Now I can only put a requisition in once every two weeks for 1 box of pens, and one box of staples.

What the hell do you do for staples and pens for home now? :confused:

Water fights in the bathroom are always fun but unless you get a women with a decent arc they usually don't play for long.
