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.. 😂

Starlink Home not able to roam?

I work 100% from home, and I am consider having Starlink as a secondary/failover WAN for when we are home, but it only makes sense if we also could use it when we are using our camper. Failover today is a 4G router. And we have maybe 1 small outage a year..

We use our camper roughly 1 weekend a month from may to september. We always camp at a campground where the wireless network is maybe functioning. And we sometimes use campsites in Sweden. But after installing Starlink for several businesses/NPO’s and a few residents I somewhat know the subscriptions. Are the only functioning solution to have Starlink roaming? As the purchase price is higher, monthly cost is higher and there is a datacap, it does not really make any sense.

As we live in Norway and have the best mobile service in the world we can just upgrade our dataplan if we run out.. It would be cheaper with 5G anyway, but I do want Starlink if we could use residential and still have it with us when use our camper.

The frame pro hub: Legge til Matter enhet i smartThings

I work in IT and have a smart home, have been working with smart homes and IT for a few years, so adding devices to the Matter network should in theory be possible.. 😂 But I can't seem to add the Roborock qrevo edge 5v2.. Anyone have any suggestions? I've added an Aqara sensor which seems to work well. There is no network called "Direct-xxxxx" in the network. The hub, phone and Roborock are on the same wifi and vlan. I would like to have Roborock on its own IoT network, so I'll move it back there.

Edit: wrote in Norwegian first..
