๐จ A mistake happened once… so now we have a rule for life ๐
Not a fix. Not a conversation. Just a brand new rule for everyone… Forever.
One person left the door open โ Badge scans required everywhere
One email went to the wrong person โ 17-step email approval workflow
One customer got a discount they shouldn’t โ Finance must approve every quote
The problem? That mistake probably wonโt happen again.
But now you’ve slowed everyone down. Forever.
Instead of fixing the 1%, you punished the 99%.
Letโs stop adding friction and start trusting humans again. (Maybe take a breath and a coffee before writing a 10-page policy โ)
๐ Whatโs the most ridiculous rule youโve seen at work?
