Shred Bin

Wednesday, July 21st 2010

Rumor has it that the compliance department is coming around soon to check that we are following all security rules in our office. This means they will make sure our desks, computers, file cabinets and any confidential information are all locked up and put away- amongst other unknown things, I'm sure.

As I was leaving tonight, I noticed my co-worker's (who sits next to me) shred bin was full of paper (which includes confidential information as I discussed earlier). Now Miss J is aware of the fact that we are supposed to empty our bins each night before leaving (she is reading this now and laughing :)). But sometimes she forgets and tonight was one of those nights.

I thought- I'm so tired I just want to go home. Nothing will happen and I'm sure no one will be here to check tonight.

Second thought- That's not the right way to look at it. It will take 5 seconds and it could really be worth it!

So I emptied Miss J's bin, and man, was it full! :)

Peace :)
