[█████████]

everybody knows that.
people do it for the purpose of wasting time.

oh, i got to print this.
oh, i got to copy this.
oh, this needs to be in quadruplicate.
oh, i need to clip these papers.
oh, i need to move these papers away.
oh, i need to shred these papers.

 

This page of the thread reminded of this picture that someone sent me a while ago.

so,
from your point of view: utterly sweet.
from my boss' point of you: i wouldnt mind feeding him with his eyeballs.

Ha.

The thing that amazes me about loads of offices is that there are always things that are done because they've always been done. 'Why do you print that report every morning (20 pages)'. 'That? We've always done that'. 'But why?'. 'We need to keep a hard copy'. 'Why?' 'So we have a record of it'... This extends to people doing whole jobs, whole departments and, in the case of PR, whole companies where people are paid and no-one knows what they do or why.

i work in a PR company and there are people in my office who earn good money, come in every day, but span about 3 months work out over the course of a year.

i could assign that statement to a lot of things and places i have been. germany was the worse for blithely following rules and red tape because as they they say, they have always done it like that and no one is going to tell them otherwise. england is a very close second.
