When I started as an RMIT intern at PaperCut I never would have guessed my tiny studio apartment would also be my workplace.

But for a long time just finding an internship as an international student was a fulltime job in itself.

Despite the pandemic, I’m actually learning more than what I expected when coming to PaperCut.

There’s no single way to explore a career at PaperCut. We adopt a ‘choose your own adventure’ approach.

Meet Jeremy Hooi. He’s a PaperCut veteran who was recently promoted to the role of senior product manager.

He’ll be your guide for this tale…

It’s hard to believe it’s been over five months since we made the difficult decision to close our London, Melbourne, and Portland offices.

Here’s what we’ve been up to during the lockdown, and what it means for the future of printing.

On June 2nd, PaperCut took a stance on Blackout Tuesday.

This simple act was a powerful step for us in solidarity with those suffering under systemic racism. It was also a statement of our commitment to begin creating organizational change from within PaperCut.

It was only the beginning for us as an organization.

Here at PaperCut, Sysadmin Day is the most wonderful time of the year!

So we went that little extra mile to celebrate. We reached out to Todd Black, systems administrator for the University of Queensland.

Todd had a chat with us about a typical day in the life of a sysadmin, the wins and challenges of his job, and the most bizarre tasks he has come across during his tenure.

Near the beginning of 2020, I entered a lead role for the first time in my career.

Becoming a leader is challenging (albeit rewarding). But leading a team remotely during a global pandemic? This notches up the difficulty.

I make no claim to have figured it all out. But here are 3 lessons I’ve learned.

To commemorate Pride month and the Stonewall riots, we wanted to pay tribute to the truly inspiring members of the LGBTQ+ community who have made innovations to not just technology but mankind in general.

The following stories contain not just the triumphs of these LGBTQ+ tech pioneers, but their struggles too. A word of warning that some of these stories contain descriptions of trauma.

The morning after American Mother’s Day, I received a surprise video message from the non-Moms in our Portland office.

It told us to check our emails. I found this e-card in my inbox…

In November 2019, one of our resident IT geeks, Alec Clews, was invited to speak at the Write the Docs conference in Sydney, Australia.

Business as usual.

But this time, there was a twist. Alec had a particular request.

What a world we find ourselves in for the 50th anniversary of Earth Day.

One good thing out of this lockdown is the good it’s doing the Earth. Less pollution, lower oil consumption, clearer skies.

But that doesn’t mean the fight is over.

Welcome back to Meet a PaperCutter. My conversation today is with Adam Axon, Head of People Experience here at PaperCut.

In this episode, things are a little bit different from what you might be used to if you follow this podcast.

Many are claiming that COVID-19 might bring about the long-anticipated end of office working.

I don’t think COVID-19 is seeing us forget the office. I think it’s making us appreciate it.
