>>These kinda dumbass middle manager politics sound like they help (to people with no work experience…) but they’re more costly in the end.

I knew a place which did the same for stationary. "Employees are using too many notebooks".

Eventually they would have a staff to stock, approve and disburse. Which Im sure costs darn more than anything the notebooks did.

Either way, its still unclear why you would ration notebooks of the things.

Eventually I guess people just want an illusion of control.
