Handbook Chaos Unleashed

Boss said to follow the rulebook to the letter? Okay, enjoy the chaos.

I work in a medium-sized office with a meticulous manager. We have a company handbook full of

old and outdated rules that we usually ignore in favor of common sense. Last week,

someone made a minor mistake against one of the obscure rules. Instead of addressing

it directly, our boss held a meeting and announced that from now on, we would follow

the handbook to the absolute letter, no exceptions. We complied maliciously. Break Time Overload

The handbook entitled us to a 10-minute break for every hour worked. Instead of the usual

one-hour lunch and two 15-minute breaks, everyone started taking 8 separate 10-minute breaks
