Only if he wants you fired and to then have to pay you unemployment.

  In a big company it won’t ultimately be up to him. A good boss will track it down but they’re not all good.

    Yes, exactly. The downside of those "causeless effects" I mentioned is that there's no guarantee they're good effects. After all, no individual consciously made the choice. If the organization gets big enough, it's very possible that things simply become both mandatory and forbidden, and no one with the power to fix it cares enough to do so.
