#96 The Office Rule That Exists Because of One Absolute Eejit

Money2Byrne

Show Notes

In this Pocket Change episode of Money2Byrne, we look at the workplace rules that clearly weren’t written in advance they were written after an incident. From banning certain foods and reply-all emails to oddly specific dress codes and desk behaviour, these policies all have one thing in common: someone ruined it for everyone.

A light, funny look at how offices really work, why some rules are painfully specific, and how one absolute eejit can change company policy forever.

Perfect for a quick listen on the go.
