What’s the stupidest company policy enforcement you have encountered?
Let’s be honest, not all company policies are well thought out or allign with workers needs. What’s the stupidness that you either had to enforce or got enforced on?
I’ll go first:
Working for a huge IT company, in the MSP department, our department was around 15% of the total employees, and the 3rd biggest department. Suddenly a policy that all mobile phone numbers were to be in the signature of all emails you send. Suddenly all emails we sent out to one or all of our customers 10 000+ employees included our mobile phone number. And for most of us, that ment it was also our personal mobile phone numbers. No one noticed this before people were getting calls and texts after hours and weekends. It started slow, but after a few weeks, people started getting annoyed and we figured it out of course. All technical staff agreed on this being bad, and stopped responding on all mails until we got exemptions, which took another week or two.. 😂
