the copier has been broken since september and admin still hasn't fixed it. how am i supposed to make copies for my lessons?

have you actually talked to admin about it or are you just venting on the interoffice Facebook group?

maybe admin's secret plan is to phase out paper and make everything digital.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

how many times have you followed up with them tho?

you're just now complaining about it in october?

fr, what's admin doing?? can't they get their stuff together and fix that copier already??

admin's plan is to just make all of us photocopiers until the office one gets fixed, ly turning us into mini duplication stations

what's taking them so long? seems like an easy fix. don't they know how important copies are for teaching?

um what's the point of having an admin if they can't even fix a broken copier in 4 months? can we talk about some priorities?

yessss and don't even get me started on the printer in the staff room... i swear it's been on the fritz since i started working here

have you tried turning it off and on again? works every time. or just use the one at kinko's, the staff there are used to desperate

are you kidding me? you're complaining about a copier when the clinic is short staffed and running on 50% capacity on a daily basis?

that's not true, the copier was replaced last month and i've seen people using it, if it's not working now maybe you should report it to facilities instead of tweeting about it.

damn, no copies for your lessons? that sucks but it's not really the admins fault.

um isn't it your job to make copies? it's not the copier's responsibility to magically work itself

that sucks, but you gotta be patient. admin has a lot of other stuff to deal with, they'll get to it eventually.

sounds like you need a new job where the copier actually works. maybe try being a professional paper shredder instead?

Totally feel you, but it's not just the copier, it's a whole lack of support for teachers and staff.

girl same, and don't even get me started on the "we're working on it" emails that have been going

same energy you're using to complain online could be used to email admin to actually get it fixed,

omg not even september, i recall it being out of order last march and i sent an email to facilities

idk why everyone's freaking out about the copier now.

Maybe try filing a formal request instead of just complaining on social media. I'm sure the admin team is doing their best with limited resources.

Yeah that's ridiculous. But also what's with the main printer always running out of paper and ink? It's like they're not even checking on these things

have you tried turning it off and on again?

um, they still get paid to do their jobs, right?

that sucks, but stop complaining. just go print stuff at the library or use your phone to take pics of the documents. there are always other options, you just gotta figure it out.

bruh, looks like ya gotta start using that highlighter like a damn stamp instead 💀

I feel you, that's just ridiculous. It's not like these things just break on their own, someone needs to own up to fixing it or we need a new admin with some basic planning skills

i feel you. it's so frustrating when basic equipment doesn't work.

wow really and have you actually talked to admin about it? if not, quit complaining on social media and go do that instead of just venting

same energy, our "new and improved" website has been down for weeks and no one seems to care, guess priorities are a thing of the past

i mean, who needs printing when you can just yell loudly and ask your students to memorize

how hard can it be to order a new copier? it's not like you're asking them to clone themselves or something

bruh, why tf do they even have a copier if it's been broken for months?

Have you tried turning it off and back on again? I hear that's the admin's go-to troubleshooting method.

i feel you. and don't even get me started on the "temporarily out of order" sign thats been up since like october.

dude, at this point, they're just trying to make the copier a permanent exhibit for 'things we're

omg that's ridiculous!! and can we also talk about the fact that the wifi in the staff room still

bruh, sounds like admin is too busy making copies of their paycheck to fix the copier.

What's the top priority at our workplace then?

idk, maybe you should've just photocopied with your eyes

have you tried talking to the principal about it? they might not know it's been broken for so long.

Have you tried turning it off and on again? 😉

bruh, how do they expect you to teach without a working copier? when are they gonna get their act together and fix that thing?

I've seen it get fixed at least three times since then. Maybe the problem is with how people are using it?

not to be that person, but maybe try the copier in the other department? ours has been working fine all year

girl, at least you have a copier. our school hasn't had one since i started teaching.

girl, make a priority list and use the one in the library or just switch to digital, septembers a long time to be waiting on admin

don't they have a maintenance schedule?

maybe you could try carrier pigeons instead? i hear they're making a comeback.

Maybe admin is just trying to encourage you to go digital.

same, i've been having to use my own printer at home and it's ridiculous.

lol "admin" is just code for "nobody knows how to use the copier anymore

Are you really acting like it's the admin's job to fix every minor issue?

Sounds like someone needs to make a copy of their maintenance request and staple it to the principal's desk

guess that's just a copycat excuse to avoid doing work

damn, sounds like you need to make a few "copies" of the admin's car keys 😏 maybe then they'll get their act together

Deal with it, it's not the end of the world, lots of teachers have worked without a functioning copier before

i guess that's what they mean by "proof of concept

maybe instead of complaining on here, you could try talking to admin directly or better yet, just use the scanner and print from your

have you tried yelling at the copier? maybe it'll fix itself out of fear.

Sounds like admin is stuck in the stone age. Maybe try sending your documents via carrier pigeon instead.

are you kidding me? it's not like you can't print anything out from the printer downstairs, or just ask someone else to make a few copies

breaking news: administration is working on getting it fixed... probably sometime after the next holiday season

girl bye, that's what the library copier is for, use it

girl, same in my department, it's been months since we had a functioning stapler and don't even get

actually, the copier has been down for maintenance multiple times since september, not just broken, and facilities has been working on it - have you tried checking with them for

Frustrating, but not surprising. Did you check the survey from HR in November? They explicitly said maintenance requests would be reviewed on a quarterly basis

blame your coworkers for not reporting it to facilities like you did

maybe "make copies" is just a metaphor for your career goals in this company

Maybe they're just trying to lower your carbon footprint by going paperless! 😉

uh same here, i've been emailing facilities about the one in the library and got nothing but bland apologies. can we cc someone higher up?

how hard is it to get maintenance on a few thousand dollars worth of office equipment, really?

have you tried actually talking to admin instead of just tweeting about it?

ikr? so annoying. makes my job so much harder. admin needs to get their shit together and fix that damn copier already.

seriously couldn't they have hired a temp or called a repair person to get it working in like a week?

don't even get me started on the state of the copier situation. It's ridiculous that it's been out of order for that long and we still

How do you think admin's lack of action on a broken copier for three whole months impacts your job performance?

yikes, yeah that's super frustrating. it's not just a matter of "doesn't matter who's lesson it is"

fr, it's so frustrating. i can't believe they still haven't gotten that fixed.

that sucks, i feel you. our copy machine has been down for months too and it's so frustrating.

I'm pretty sure the copier is just allergic to being fixed, it's a known condition in the office equipment world.

did you even bother to send them a reminder or are you just waiting for a miracle to happen??

has anyone been held back from teaching a lesson because of the copier? that sounds like a legitimate reason to not have a job, btw.

are you seriously still reporting it through the proper channels or just yelling into the void on the staff room wall?

tbh i thought we were doing 'save trees, save paper' all year, but i guess it's 'no copies, force

I guess you're just being graded on your creative lesson planning skills now

Have you actually taken the time to talk to admin about it or are you just expecting it to magically fix itself?

i feel you, it's so frustrating when basic office equipment is left broken for months. the admin really needs to get on that.

have you tried actually telling admin about it? they can't fix it if they don't know it's broken.

fr, this is so annoying. it's like they don't even care about the work we're trying to do.

seriously, you're complaining now? you're just upset because you couldn't use it for your lazy

the copier is just on a union break, negotiating for better jam-tastic working conditions

yeah same. at this point i'm just impressed it's still making a sad, empty-toned beep instead of just not working at all. guess that's some kind of progress?

same with the microwave in the break room, been out of order since november and still nothing's

same girl. that thing has been broken for way too long. maybe it's time to get an exacto tape measure and measure the

yeah, just tell ur students to take notes on 'respawning the functionality' and 'sender/receiver mismatch'.

omg that's nothing, our team has been asking for a functional printer for over a year and it's still "on the list

what's the plan to get it fixed? is it still supposed to magically happen or do we need to get a new copier or
