After spending an extra long weekend away from the office, I have returned to become utterly bemused and bewildered. During my dilly-dally away from the office my group within the company moved rooms. Now it’s only one room along and it’s a nice change from the room before, and although i have a window seat all i can see are a few houses and the office block’s roof condensors accross the road.
Upon my gleefull return I have also been greeted with information from a fellow colleague about the plant situation within the office. It’s not something you might oft consider, yet i think that it can probably tell you more than you think about the methodology of a company.
The plants within the office are now ‘rented’ from a plant renting company. This has restricted the number of plants within the office to one per room whereas before we had a whopping great forest on the end of each desk. The reason is most likely the cost of renting the plants and the cost of the little man who comes around and waters the plants.
Maybe it helps the company to get more engineering done, but I think it is probably the best example of how to waste money I have seen for a while.
On the other side of the coin though… Congratulations to the person who managed to persuade the company to part with their cash for such a simple idea.
