....you can fire people if they're being an asshole (at least in the US). Humans are, generally speaking, fucking stupid. When they're in an organizational setting, especially when they don't want to be bothered with organizing, and have power, it's really common for people to just make "rules" about whatever minor inconvenience they perceive. You see it on workers rights subreddits a lot, one person pissed off the boss so they knee-jerk created whatever blanket rule to bludgeon everyone back into line, then everyone gets upset and it ultimately costs them more that it would have to just ignore the problem. This is such a prominent phenomenon that it's the entire basis of running a goddamn insurgency.
