First a wave of redundancies, second a partnership decision to decline to pay for the admission costs of newly redundant Article Clerks, and now, according to a Deacons Firm Spy:
‘Deacons have for the first time decided to lock the stationary cupboard, requiring people to contact an administrative assistant with cupboard-access to procure post-it notes, highlighters, pens, pencils and other items.’
Deacons fee-earners are upset with the measures, claiming:
‘The time wasted wrangling for a f#$king pencil would surely double the capital costs of half-a-dozen HBs. This is yet another narrow-minded, tight-fisted response by the partnership to the same pressures being experienced elsewhere.’
A flood of stories have flown into us here at the Firm Spy, including a new desire among staff to ‘grab whatever they can whilst the cupboard door is open, believing that it might be boarded up without notice.’
No official response from Deacons media, though it would be easy to dismiss this latest measure as a firmwide response to helping create a more eco-friendly, less wasteful office. Do you agree? Share your opinion and comments!
