In the never ending effort to go green, the Shitshow had the idea of placing recycling bins for aluminum cans and plastic bottles throughout the buildings. Seems like a good idea doesn’t it? After all, it should be easy and convenient to recycle. As you probably guessed now, the execution of the idea came up a little short.
When the Shitshow first distributed the recycling bins there were literally 10 bins my floor (about 50 offices). There were so many on my floor that there was a pair in each office hallway and one in the middle of the hallway. I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw so many recycle bins.
About 2 weeks later the bins were redeployed, I guess someone noticed the current distribution was a little overkill. So what do think happened? They reduced the number of bins to one or two per floor? Or maybe they placed a pair of bins in the kitchenette on each floor instead? Nope, that would make too much sense.
The solution the Shitshow came up with was to remove all the bins from all the floors and only place them next to the soda vending machines. The catch to this is that vending machines are far and few at the Shitshow. In fact the nearest vending machine to my office is 5 floors down and in a different building. It takes about 5 minutes for me to get the vending machine which is a pretty common experience at the Shitshow.
So let’s think about this. People have to walk 5 minutes to get their soda, which they take back to their office to consume. When they are done, they are now expected to walk another five minutes to use the recycling bin next to the vending machine. Once again, great execution.
Because it’s not easy being green, I throw rocks.
