People have been using this argument against me since I was a child: "this is good for you because the big bad world will crush you", but frankly I thought it was nonsense back then and I still do.
The world is not filled with teacher-type people who will crush you for breaking rules. The world is filled with people who want to get things done, and know that the rules are only there to facilitate getting things done. If the rules get in the way to getting things done, they are ignored.
- pixl97 4y agoI see someone doesn't actually have to follow any legal regulations in their line of work. After your 12th hour straight in an IT call with a bank trying to fix a simple issue multiple compliance officers are on the call all fighting each other, you come to realize the nightmare teacher types do exist.
- welshwelsh 4y agoIf you ignore the legal regulations that don't make sense, maybe you'll get fired and end up working at a better job that doesn't have those regulations. If enough people ignore the regulations, they'll become unenforceable. It's always a good thing to break rules you don't like.
- kevviiinn 4y agoAh yes, who likes those pesky robbery and murder laws anyhow?
- agos 4y agoI'm pretty confident that the school was not going for this angle
- LocalH 4y agoThe world is filled with both types of people. There are absolutely people who will crush you for breaking rules, for the sake of enforcing the rules, regardless of validity.
- HowTheStoryEnds 4y agoDepends on the work bubble you're in, I've definitely seen places where following asinine rules tempted getting shit done because of the power of gave the enforcer and the disconnect they had themselves from the results of success. Mostly.gov but some private places that are big enough without true oversight as well
