There's nothing worse than being uncomfortable at work; that's why you'll never catch me in a suit and tie. That and the fact that copywriting isn't really the field for dressing to the nines. So I'll rephrase: That's one of the reasons why you'll never catch me in a suit and tie.

Being told that you can't do something because of some inane policy or SOP is incredibly frustrating, especially when you come to find that it's not actually a written rule at all. The hilarious thing is how quickly the rule can be written and changed if they want it to be so, and yet they act like other ridiculous policies couldn't be changed in a hundred years.

This worker, u/Sarasil, posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit to share one such story, telling of a time they were sent home by their boss for wearing shorts despite the fact that it wasn't even against the rules.
