While the special instructions incidents were horrific, particularly to someone like me who wants to do the right thing and their brain seizes up with such insanity, they were eventually resolved.
Finally they instituted a policy where instructions were reviewed by a group of senior account managers every 90 days. Whomever wrote them had to justify them, or they were simply deleted. That actually turned out to be a great process as many out of date instructions were auto deleted without anyone doing anything.
As for the job, it was actually a great job. The support team was amazing, supportive, it paid great, and the company weathered a lot of economic downturns easily. If anything the special instructions incident demonstrated how even a great organization can go bonkers insane.
