CannonFodder posted:The 'Paperless Office' of the late 90s never came to be. Yes I recall reading someplace that since computers became standard in offices, paper consumption has actually increased. When I worked for a mortgage company, there was an entire floor where they did nothing all day long but print, collate, and staple huge documents before boxing them up. I work for a government contractor now, and most of the people older than me are constantly printing out reams of paper and putting them in filing cabinets.

I was shocked when I did my most recent house-closing. I signed about 8 sheets, and then got a USB drive with a key to download the copies of the documents securely online. I did, then put them in the drive, and put the drive in my lockbox. I took one single sheet of paper home with me.

MightyJoe36 posted:Yes I recall reading someplace that since computers became standard in offices, paper consumption has actually increased. But nowadays I think we're mostly there. It's not completely paperless but with so many workflows being either automated or just entirely handled in software, paper is used very, very infrequently. Like when I request time off, I fill out a small form, my manager receives and approves it with a click, payroll is notified and my lunch money is subtracted for those days, and everything is documented for compliance and other reasons. Same with travel expenses - I only need to submit the receipts with a single cover sheet, and only because it's required by law here. I sit within earshot of a printer shared by at least 60-70 people and sometimes days go by between anyone using it. There are of course some instances where a paper copy is still needed, like with contracts for example, and some offices could be stuck in the past of course.

Is that specifically an anti-pedestrian crossing fence?

I would assume so. Since the fence keeps going past where any car would be able to turn, and there's a gap in it for an actual crosswalk.

Imagined posted:My coworkers who print emails so they can scan them. I have to do this all the time. It's ridiculous. There are a lot of small companies that email you an un-editable form (like an image of a photocopy of a child's idea of a form impeded in a pdf so that you can't even convert it to word) that must be filled out by hand and then scanned and emailed back. They could set up an online form but they refuse. Print email, fill out by hand, scan, email. Then I get mailed a packet of paperwork as a result that I don't even need. Then I save all those copies just in case I need one of the 20 pieces of paper later. Of course I've got to use tons of manila folders and tabs to organize them. I've got more paper than any normal person should have. I don't want any of it, but if I throw one thing away, some jackass comes looking for it.

Facebook Aunt posted:Is that specifically an anti-pedestrian crossing fence? It looks more like an anti-car fence, in a "stop blocking traffic to turn left here assholes" kind of fashion. I've seen similar in places where the lines on the road say "don't do the thing" but it's more convenient if you ignore them (like "you're not supposed to cut across 4 lanes of traffic in 50 feet to get from this entrance to that left turn lane" kind of situations)

They could set up an online form but they refuse. Print email, fill out by hand, scan, email. I was excited to learn at my last job where all paperwork was in the form of Adobe PDFs that acrobat reader lets you type anywhere on the page. And it lets you insert images of your signature and initials. Since that day I no longer had to use my printer to fill out forms. That company still printed everything out and because of document retention policies it will have this exact issue in about 10 years.

Re: paper chat. I was once sent a contract for some consulting work I did. The guy who sent it to me said "I've included two copies, one for you to sign and send back and one for your records". Seems fine, right? He emailed them. He emailed me two copies of the same file.
