Dumb Workplace Rules From Around the World

The Late Volunteer

My job years ago tried to implement a very strict attendance policy, where if you were one second late you would get written up.

Till one Saturday a guy who had worked there for like 30 years shows up to work 30 seconds late. They pull him into the office and write him up. He then gets up and tells them he’s going home. Working Saturdays was voluntary and he basically said I don’t have to be here today so I’m going home.

He was doing them a favor by working that day but when they wrote him up for being 30 seconds late he basically left them hanging by just going home. That policy didn’t last too much longer. Story credit: Reddit / Strid3r21
