Title: Irresponsible use of a photocopier
Post by: Miss Demeanour on June 12, 2009, 10:09:26 AM
I have just toddled along to our 'business centre' - i.e an area of the floor where the colour printer /photcopier , scanner and shredder are kept  noooo: - went to copy some stuff  ( an original concept I know ) picked up the documentation only to find the highly classiifed print out of what our new structure will look like after the redundancies  eeek: eeek: eeek:

You would think that if you were going to print this out you would make dam sure you picked it up quickly  noooo:

I have made the necessary copies and put the original back in place for whoever will come along to collect  whistle:

A trip to the printer is wasted if you don't do a quick reccy of what is there waiting for others. I know it's wrong, but who doesn't do it?

Exactly ......and there are 4 of them that this applies to at the moment in management positions in the dept - so they are protected. Apparently on the basis that you cannot 'reasonably' expect them to come in and attend interviews and such like  Banghead
