Because they've bought into the "you vs them" mentality the manglement fosters in order to keep labor from concentrating their focus. Divide and conquer is the lesson of the day.Originally posted by: DayLaPaul
I don't understand why you're calling them cheap for using "your" microwave. It's not like you actually paid for it with your own money. The money came from the company. Despite being in different divisions, you guys still work for the same company. Why don't you get some work done instead of brooding all day over "unauthorized" use of "your" microwave.
Hmm. I thought camaraderie was more useful.Originally posted by: AlienCraft

Cut the microwave cord in half, and wire up a new set plugs but in reverse on the ends (so the microwave will have a female plug, and you are left with a male to male cable).
New cord ends will cost you at most a few bucks at the hardware store, and are very easy to wire up.
Keep the male to male cord in your posession and everyone else will be stuck with no way to plug in the microwave.
That's what I was thinking. Simple and inexpensive.
Where he keeps the cord is up to him.

From the looks of it, this is clearly an IT issue. Have them lock it down using fingerprint + RSA key. That should do it.

Your company should supply the microwaves and the cleaning crew should be cleaning the microwave. Even small start-ups I worked at, offered that.
