Update: HR Department Adds Confidentiality Clause to Micromanaging Rules Following Viral Thread

It's never a good idea to double down on a mistake. Usually, if you're doing this, you're so narcissistically blind to your own faults that you don't see anything you do as a mistake in the first place. It's the same logic as going "double or nothing" on a bet once you've already lost all your chips. It just doesn't make logical sense to put yourself even further in the hole by refusing to know when to back away.

Well, this HR department clearly doesn't understand the principle of "double or nothing," as they have now doubled down foolishly on a position that caused their work site to go viral last week for all the wrong reasons.

Last week, this HR department posted a list of four 'Facility Rules' that hold no water in any legal capacity. The rules intended to micromanage workers and increase efficiency and productivity, but many workers felt that it crossed a line. We talked about this last week in this thread when the rules were initially posted.

The list included a requirement for being on-site five (unpaid) minutes before the shift starts, an (effective) ban on overtime, and enforced a maximum bathroom break time of 10 minutes. Workers on-site felt that these rules went too far, and one of them posted a photo of the posting to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit, where it got viral views.

The worker has now returned to share a photo of the updated posting that seeks to add further clarification to some of the rules and now claims the following:

"Final reminder all internal memos are for internal use only and are CONFIDENTIAL Employees caught sharing internal communication material are subject to termination and/or civil penalties."

Scroll on to see the new amended rules before, and, as previously, you can view the original post here.
