My roommate works at a call center. There is a rule there that you can't go to the bathroom within 15 minutes of clocking in. He complains of the arbitrary control of people's bladders yet in the same breath will complain of people who go straight in at 9:15. To me that's where work culture gets despicable: make people look down at people who don't approve of rules they themselves don't like, and you've outsourced shame from managers to the employees themselves.

>outsourced shame from managers to the employees themselves

this is one of the major selling points of management.

McD has a policy that the managers have to tell the employees what to do. Store managers don't. Which creates an inevitable 'but Doug didn't...' and then a 'I know but, ...' dialog

having non-shitty store managers would solve this.
