What strange or silly rules do you have in your workplace?
Here are some examples from the office where I work:
- My colleagues asked if we could have a small bookcase, because we have heaps of reference books on the desks and a bookcase would make it much easier to store and find them. We were told that it is against the policy to have bookcases or shelves, and that "if we got a book case then people would put things on it".
- They provide pencils but not pencil sharpeners, so when your pencil gets blunt you have to throw it away and get a new one.
- In the canteen, they sometimes serve vegetable curry. They also serve rice.
However, you are not allowed to have vegetable curry with rice. You are allowed to have vegetable curry with a baked potato, or chicken curry with rice, but not vegetable curry with rice
.
Has anyone else got any silly rules?
