    My manager redefined my role (against my will) to have a billable ratio of zero. Essentially I was full time business development, not billable to any client. I told him that I would have no job security without being billable, but he insisted. Predictably, months later they fired me for having no billable hours. I explained my directives, but they said I was lying and gave me 2 months severance and a boot out the door. And then... I sent them the printed emails I had saved proving that I was working precisely as directed. They didn't blink, until I filed a lawsuit for libel against my manager, personally. INSTANTLY, their lawyer gave me a nice, FAT settlement.

In any logical, civilized society, machines that increased productivity while lowering the need for manpower would only create a benefit for anyone who used it. The excess value created by the machines would then be taxed at a high rate to make up for the loss of wage income via welfare programs and education to create new, higher skill jobs.

    @RamDragon32 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +91

    I worked in IT for several high dollar (and therefore high security) clients. From Oil to Architecture, there tended to be similar government and military rated security measures put in place to prevent industrial espionage and sabotage. One of those practices includes a physical USB security key that is paired with a security chip on the motherboard and is nearly impossible to circumvent since the lock works by disabling the bios without the key present. Tampering with a locked laptop, regardless of the laptop's job, results in loss of security rating. We had a case where an oil company fired a guy for violating those security measures and he'll never be allowed to work in oil again. I'm actually very surprised that those guys were able to work in aerospace, anywhere, again since that seems like a much more sensitive area than oil.
    Those security standards are also why, when dealing with China, anyone going there must use a stripped-out laptop with a fresh hard drive containing only the relevant files. Because any computer brought to China will likely have their data stolen.

So it could be almost $6k in paper, and an estimated $10k+ in toner (really hard to estimate this, but our commercial Canon printer is really efficient in toner and would run $10k of it). Not including wear and tear on the machines, we are also charged a 'click charge, per impression. I'm guessing their cost in shop was about $20k once it was all done and added up.

      I was once tasked to write a reporting application, to print out a report containing the organization's full database. That was in the early 1990s, so they considered reports on paper still more trustworthy than anything on a computer screen. I did an estimate about the amount of paper needed (several rooms full) and asked them if they still wanted the report generator. Yes, they absolutely needed it. Printouts every month.
      The application came with a warning that printing should only be done in the basement of the office building. Because the weight of the paper would exceed the rated load bearing capacity of the floors, and the building would be in danger of collapsing. They rethought the idea and the application was retired before it was even used once.

    I worked for a company who had to submit reports to the EPA. They used to submit about 1½ semitrucks full of paper for each product/chemical. When the EPA allowed electronic submissions on CD-ROM, it only took a couple of binders filled with 6 discs per page. However, they still generated the paper reports, then fed them through a high speed scanner that I had to support and buy the server disk storage to hold the images. We almost maxed out how many disks we could fit on the server before they were done. Luckily, the computer started to manufacture disks double the size we started with. But this was the top priority IT project at the time, so budget was not an issue. I'm sure 1½ semis would have been cheaper.

    I just looked up a professional copier/printer, I chose the Xerox AltaLink C8155. It is capable of up to 55 PPM. If it ran non-stop, one would take a bit over 212 hours. 700,000 pages is 1,400 reams. A typical case is 10 reams, so 140 cases of paper. I’m sure you can buy cheaper in lots this side but at Costco, a case is around $53. That would be well over $7000 just for paper, not counting toner and the wear & tear of the fuser and other expendables.

    Sincerely doubt the facts of the story. 700k sheets of paper would not fit in a cubicle near that size, except possibly if it was the only thing in their (no desk or chair). If it was from the manufacturer of the paper (in boxes of 5k paper), it would still be hard to do. This doesn't include the weight of the paper. That much paper likely weighs around 7,000 pounds.
    So at least that part of the story is outright lie.
