Paperless office, late nineties.
my current and previous jobs were indeed paperless. and i'm not alone.
My office isn’t entirely paperless, because I enjoy writing on paper with a physical pen with real ink in it. Just got a new (paper) notebook yesterday.
Apart from that, you could say my office is as close to paperless as you can get. Sure, there are some old papers in the drawer, but I don’t think I’ll ever need those for anything. If I lost those in a fire, nobody would miss them.
Give me stats, stat. I bet you're in a tiny minority
my quick googlefu shows 17% as of October 2021 as reported by AIIM. i bet a lot of those recent remote worker types are paperless since then.
A way to go, but hopefully the trend continues
Thanks! This data confirms my personal observations.
Same, now that I think of it. I haven't used paper to do my job in years. I don't even use the printer for personal use that often. I jot down notes on a piece of paper sometimes, if that counts.
Occasionally, like once or twice a year I need to print something on paper. The printer in the office never works though, and the reaction of my boss is usually “oh yes we should do something about that”, which nobody ever does. I usually go to a copy shop then.
Just about, I only have to print the ocassional thing for a couple of organisations that dont accept an electronic signature, I use the printer about four times a year
My kid's school sets homework on teams but only accepts it if printed out
Mine is paperless. My last one was too. You'll get there eventually.
