Heavy-handed workplace rules
1. If you are stuck in traffic on the way to work, you must email the CEO. Phone calls and texts are not permitted, only email.
2. You couldn't bring anything "that smells" for lunch.
3. Don't talk to customers longer than three minutes unless you're making a big sale, answer the phone within two rings, you can't talk to your co-workers while at work, even if there was not a single customer in the shop.
4. "The VP of our company just held a mass meeting to tell all of us we can't have pictures or plants or food or any form of non-office supplied object on our desk. Tons of co-workers have family pictures or their kids' finger paintings pinned up on the cubicle walls. All that has to be removed. People were pissed."
