It drives me nuts when companies let a few bad actors ruin a loose policy

At a small or mid-sized company, ½% of bad actors can be one or two or three.

At a company the size of Google, ½% of bad actors can be hundreds or thousands of human liabilities.

A valid point, though I'd argue that that same "power in numbers" of companies like Google means PR can swing just as hard in a positive direction as a result of a generous policy.

I think it's a question of where to draw the line. I'm sure an argument could be made that they should get rid of the bikes on their campuses because a percentage of people will hurt themselves on them or hurt someone else and be a legal risk.
