The irony is I visited a google office once and I’d rank a stapler as the 2,575th most opulent thing in there. The furniture alone is insane. Yet they decided to yank staplers.
- bombcar 4y agoWait this wasn't an Office Space reference but Google is actually removing staplers? https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/03/google-to-cut-down-on-employee-laptops-services-and-staplers-to-save.html https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/03/google-to-cut-down-on-employ... my goodness
- danpalmer 4y agoI think the reason is that no one uses staplers, and yet there's a cupboard of them. Obviously it's not just staplers, there's loads of stationery, but why? A few pens and some notebooks is all that actually gets used.
- Cthulhu_ 4y agoI love staplers. I love playing with them and the rows of staples. My favorite unused-in-decades office accessory that some offices still stock is the staple remover, it's a great little (sometimes painful) fidget.
