Not been sure of late about how good your work place is? Not sure if you should switch jobs to get to a better company? Not sure what is better? Look no further than the restrooms or as we would lovingly call it in the good ole days, the almighty bogs.
I have realised that the environment and attitude of a work place can be judged by the toilet paper (TP) it uses. The quality signifies a lot and it is not really a linear relationship. Take for example a place that uses those cheap wax paper kind TP. Now it can be two things. One, you are working for the government or two, you work in a big company. Bigger companies usually don't care a lot about their lower rung and are not bothered with providing the best environment. These companies are always looking at cost cutting measures, not because they cannot afford it but because they are plain cheap (and that is exactly why they are richer). Can't do with wax paper-too bad, find another job, you are expendable. The attitude translates directly into the TP that is used, and might even be there to remind you of this attitude even in your solitude. On the other hand if your bogs have nice, actually usable TP, you probably work in a place that cares about its work force a bit. The people here are happier and you can always find a conversation near the coffee machine. These places invariably have a smaller work force and are not too worried about spending a couple of extra bucks over a 16 pack TP, which is all they are going to need over the month. You can smile, because your job is safe and you actually like your work place because it is cosy and homie. Then there are those, which use the real good stuff. TP's which are made from paper more expensive than your wedding invitations, with carnations and prints that are more beautiful than the one on your 6 year olds t-shirt. If you have come across this at your office, you probably work in a very pretentious environment where people are always 'proper'. Things just DON'T go wrong here and nobody makes mistakes (or atleast doesn't admit to). This is the worst in my opinion since not only is your environment stifling, the veneer also gives way to duplicity.
