Has it gotten so bad that you have to send stuff to the manager to get it printed?
I've seen offices where only a few people were able to connect to the network printer and just ask people if they can print it.
Usually they've tries using flash drives but many large printers are also terrible at reading pdf files from them.
Edit: Should note that most of these people were smart and were able to follow instructions. However the big office printers can be an utter pain at times.
It's amazing that the faster Ethernet gets and the more powerful network devices become, the fewer things we can do.
Why wouldn't just about everyone get the ability to print on the device whose sole purpose is to print things? If everything is set up right, you can even set per-user policies so Jarrett doesn't waste ink printing 50 AI pictures of kittens to hang in his soulless office cubicle.
because printers are evil
And tons of companies block flash drive access now
Yeah, they often leave out the text in pdf forms. And the drive has to be formatted in a way yours isn't.
I had a job where they disabled access to all printers. If you needed a hard copy, you had to email the document to the printer admins and they would print after reviewing it.
Similarly, they were too cheap to pay for zoom licenses so if you needed a meeting longer than 40 minutes, you had to email the zoom admins with the list of attendees and they would create it.
But getting a repeating zoom meeting scheduled was virtually impossible.
Did anyone ever tell you the back story for that rule?
The general answer is every stupid rule was an over reaction to something.
And the owner runs it like a gas station and assumes everyone is stealing from the till.

I could see a small office where the printer is just directly attached to one person's computer.
Yes, that's probably how it is here. Still, it's strange, considering that most reasonably modern printers are fairly easy to set up for any company network.
Presumably, not much is printed here, as there is hardly any need for it anymore.
i always assumed the OP was just home and didn't have a printer there
At my work it's just an intranet with no outside email access. Only the store manager has that. You also are not allowed to plug in USBs to anything. So if you want something printed that was not emailed on the Interoffice mail, you have to email it to the store manager.
I guess you either work for a company with highly sensitive data, or the IT people are overdramatizing a tad bit.
I also believe that IT security is important, but it should remain reasonable.
Sounds to me like more of a power play by management than a sensible security concept.
They said store so I assume they work in retail. Why would a retail employee need a company email? And not allowing people to plug in USB sticks into an intranet (especially with POS machines) is just standard operating procedures.

At least the manager seemed to have a good sense of humor about it.
I love that he knows you so well, that he immediately goes to "sick power play", I think this says good things about you :)
And we're back to "dump everything into c/memes" again... Stop being lazy.
"Stop having fun!"
Is it only a meme if it is shared elsewhere before it is posted to a community about sharing memes? Is c/memes limited to sloppy seconds?
I get his argument. I personally don't mind it, but people are trying to curate their feeds better. Memes should ideally be for memes.
This better belongs in whitepeopletwitter. Do we have one on Lemmy yet?
Define meme
I second this. Memes used to be image macros and All Your Base. Now any Tumblr screenshot or 4chan greentext seems to count depending on who you ask.
Take me back to cats wanting burgers
Long cat is loooooooong
That is a more specific meme community.
This is a no fun zone! No smiling here! Do you think this is a happy place? This isn't a happy place, get back to work!
Unfortunately, both this community and the shitposts community allow people to post whatever, per the community rules. This one has no rule about what a meme is, and shitposting explicitly allows whatever.
I used to care too, but it's just wasted effort.
True.

Context matter bruh hahahhahahah.
Microsoft office 👻
i HATE microsoft. am a software developer. but literally corporations make you use their shit. how could you even avoid it? having no job or something?
? How? -> LibreOffice
Have you never worked in an office before? IT doesn't just let you install whatever you want on work machines.
We know alternatives exist... They're not always available.
Or if you use your own machine, you still have to collaborate in ways that require Office for one reason or another.
None of my desk jobs have ever allowed a personal computer because of the risk of data leaking.
Was cautioned about an employee at our competitor who used a personal device, it was stolen and it had client data on it including some of their IP, and when that client took legal action, because the employee acted out of company policy they were on the hook for it.

There are many software solutions but people just pretend they don't exist. Herd mentality. If you water a plant it grows.
when YOUR JOB says, "here's Outlook, fucking use it" what else can you do. did you even read what i wrote?
