Let's bury me deep in papers My office is having a huge cost reduction campaign. It's started from Central Headquarter in the US and spread through all the branches around the world. Meanwhile, here in our branch, the activity is reaching its peak so everybody are working to the max, hence there are a lot of overtime, more papers and printing ink are used, etc. A few days ago, the BM sent out an email to all the employees regarding this issue. He stated something like minimizing the use of papers and maximizing the use of online documents viewer or something like that. He insisted on getting this done all the way that he asked our Office Boy to collect all the unused papers on the tray next to the printer/fax/photocopier in the end of the day and he will check to whom those unused papers belong to. My coworkers said that's just ridiculous, they don't understand why does it takes someone in BM position to go through a lot of papers, call the person responsible for printing it and question and/or punish them for being wasteful. That felt like being back in Elementary School where it takes a teacher to personally call and ask the student why they're being naughty. But one of his new policy that I really hate is limiting the purchase of stationaries and Bindex for archiving purpose. I mean, what the hell??? Accounting is one of those departments that have a hard time being completely paperless. One of the main rule of accounting department is that we have to always keep all the supporting documents and records attached to every vouchers that gets approved, for audit purpose. And that just suck balls. You have no idea how much invoices we produced and get every day, and as our productivity risen, so does the documents. I sometimes feel like crying everytime I see another batch of documents on my desk, waiting to be processed and put away to archive. Now the BM thinks we should cut down on Bindexes, clips, staplers and labels? Where the hell am I going to send these processed documents to??? A part of me just wants to throw it all into a box and burn them down. Yeah, I'm crazy like that. You know what should we do to reduce cost? Make the BM live in cheap rental house, use cheaper car and stop letting the company pay for his international phone calls to his family in Singapore. Ugh, seriously. Labels: office |
