Our Office is Going Paperless

[Mjcpr]

So everyday, we have these email exchanges that contain some information about financial data that we transfer to our bank. It just says how many and how much, basically. In case they're ever needed again, I made a folder for them in my email program and I just move them over there every day.

My co-worker prints them. Both of them, every day. While that in itself is a complete waste of paper, the funny thing is that when he gets, say, a month's worth....he scans them and throws away the paper copies. So essentially, what he's doing is taking an electronic version of this document, printing it out, and then later scanning it back into an electronic version of the same document and throwing away the paper.

Maybe it's just me, but that seems like the most retarded thing evar.

Hmmm... Sounds like the Department Of Redundancy Department. Does this co-worker appear to have serious issues with insecurity?

We used to have a VP that made his assistant print off all of his emails so he could read them.

We suspected that he didn't know whow to read gud or something because she always ended-up going over them for him.

Several months later he was fired and we found out he was practically illiterate. Must be very hard to fake that kind of stuff and be as successful as he was. I can't imagine.

Oh, and the dude in Pat's story is a total dumas.

Sometimes it's hard to tell because he talks to himself a lot; the clasped hands and bowed head are the keys.

Be afraid, be very afraid...

All kidding aside, that is jacked up. Has anyone pointed out to the person, why doesn't he just archive the original email. Does he mark up the paper copies to make it different or original?

[jk the sooner fan]

we're "paperless", all our claims documents get scanned into a "laserfiche" program, which i call "loserfiche" because it sucks

but my adjusters will print some of the documents out and work on the printed material because they can write notes , etc

paperless my ***......

Nope, no edits.....just prints out the emails then scans them in later.

[NormanPride]

Care to elaborate on some of this guy's issues?
