Corporate IdiocyComedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

WTF?So someone has completely failed to realise that the manpower cost of cleaning the bags will be vastly more than the cost of new ones?
Or is it the case where the manpower and consumables budgeting are completely separate and this process actually appears to be a real saving at local level?
Big organisations, left hand, right hand etc.

It must have been an interesting meeting with the unionbecause as far as I can make out the higher-ups rewrote the cleaner's contracts to include washing used binbags without any real consultation.
Who knows. All i know is that the cleaners in my offices lift our bags up out of the bins and wash them before returning them.

I'm guessing thatwhen the cleaners are instructed to empty, wash and reuse the bin bags, what they actually do is empty and reuse the bin bags.
Human nature and all that.
