π¨ A mistake happened once… so now we have a rule for life π
Not a fix. Not a conversation. Just a brand new rule for everyone… Forever.
One person left the door open β Badge scans required everywhere
One email went to the wrong person β 17-step email approval workflow
One customer got a discount they shouldn’t β Finance must approve every quote
The problem? That mistake probably wonβt happen again.

Instead of fixing the 1%, you punished the 99%.
Letβs stop adding friction and start trusting humans again. (Maybe take a breath and a coffee before writing a 10-page policy β)
