A new study has revealed that 60% of Canadian employees have used their office printer for personal use. That number may seem high initially, until you check out the top personal use - printing out maps and directions - with 59 per cent of employees admitted they do so using the office printer.
I’m wondering how that number isn’t significantly higher considering just about everybody I know has used the office printer for at least some sort of personal reason. Most of the other personal uses listed on the survey seem about right; online purchase confirmations, personal emails, and news articles each with 39-40% of employees. 20 percent apparently use the printer for color photos, something I have yet to see. And of course, 1 percent admin to using the printer for their own resumes - something that definitely takes guts.
File that under personal use is office use.
