All the faxes that come to our office for her then have to be re-faxed to her home office. That means, for every sheet of paper originated somewhere else, we use two more to get the information to this woman. Most of these faxes are resumes sent by recruiters, and we have the option of receiving them as e-mail attachments. My boss doesn't like e-mail attachments. So, we kill off a few more trees.
People just like having hardcopies of everything.
My boss loves binders. I know I'm being overly-critical here. I think it's because I took a few moments to really look at her office the other day. I guess making everyone else scramble when you haven't learned how to pack efficiently is one of the tips in one of those books. She also has every piece of paper given to her by the company laminated onto a piece of wood and hung on the wall.
