If you think that's an appropriate and proportional response to an employee making a mistake or misunderstanding an internal policy, I sincerely hope that you're not in charge of anyone at your day job.
- yorwba 7y agoI'm pretty sure "whoever came up with this policy and started enforcing it" has significant leeway in their decision making. Having the power to come up with new policies to enforce also means that you should be ready to take responsibility if those policies turn out to be bad.
- psychometry 7y agoSure, but this person was probably given another set of more general policies to work with, and what they came up with was reasonable for the vast majority of cases. It's hard to imagine every single edge case (open source apps with donation links are definitely the minority) and policies will evolve over time to be more comprehensive.
