Printer Responsibility

As Admin Gal passes the only color copier/printer on her floor, she is APPALLED at the lack of discretion used by her fellow employees.  There are print jobs going to the printer that should be done in black and white, church bulletins, pictures of jewelry lusted after, house listings, copies of pictures of peoples children, etc – there are some things I don’t want to know about you.  All of this during working hours.  None of this should be occurring at all.

When a resource is limited, people should keep in mind that it is just that – LIMITED!  It shouldn’t be burdened by personal jobs, thereby inhibiting others from getting actual work done.

Not to mention the cost of making color copies or print to a color printer.  Even though this is not coming out of the offenders actual pocket, SOMEBODY is paying for it.

So Admin Gal admonishes people to think twice before you print to a color printer.  Is it necessary?  Will it bog down some one else’s job?  Think of someone else besides them self.

BTW, effective immediately Admin Gal will start recycling all non-job related print jobs she sees.  AND a code that only she know will go on the printer, so you will now have to come to her for your print jobs.  Try explaining little Joey’s cute picture now!

Office Supplies

The purpose of Office Supplies is not to supply your home office, your children’s school supplies, your church auxiliaries or any other non-work related activity.  Instead, Office Supplies are to be used specifically for the purpose of conducting your job. 

 

My job is to order Office Supplies.  Not supplies that are pretty, neat-o, or make you feel good, but supplies that don’t break the bank. I am tasked specifically with keeping supply costs down.

 

If you have a brand of pen that you like, buy your own and lock your desk!

 

Oh! DON’T hoard supplies!  As the procurer and distributor of said Office Supplies, I am the only one who is authorized to hoard supplies.  I do so for a reason. YOU DON’T NEED A YEARS SUPPLY OF PENS OR STICKY NOTES OR NOTEBOOKS AT YOUR DESK.

 

Office supplies are a privilege not a right.  Some companies make you get your own!
