I was told I need to enroll in the company's environment plan. What does that mean? It means I get to pledge that I'll shut my computer off everyday, and shut my monitor off every night, and shut the lights off when I leave the room. I get to save the company like $30 for the year. I'm excited.
I mean after all, why shouldn't I be? Between slashing my benefits and bonus, this extra $30 is the icing on the cake. When I go to sleep at night, I feel good knowing that I contributed to my company saving more money that will be shipped off to the CEO. You know it's getting bad at your company when they require you to 'sign up' and pretend to give a shit about initiatives like this.
I got another environment clean-up idea. How about cutting down ridiculous executive salaries and donating that money to environmental charities? How about reducing stress on overworked employees so they can go home a decent hour and not consume energy at the office? How about finding another way to advertise your environmental initiatives other than big, paper documents? Let's face facts, company environment-saving plans are bullshit.
