(18,807 posts)Never mind the ill will, the turnover rate (which means training time for new staff galore) and general douchery; just consider the time and money burned by conjuring that sort of policy in the first place.
A big company deciding on something like the two-picture rule would have to get a bunch of guys together, determine that a number of pictures is somehow a problem, then figure out how many pictures is acceptable, address things like the collage loophole, decide on enforcement mechanisms, then implement all of that by telling the staff (likely as not in a meeting) and enforcing the rules.
I mean, even before getting to the point of telling Jones here that he's got 2.25 pictures on his desk rather than the permitted 2.00, I have to wonder how many personweeks of time, most of it among the presumably quite expensive tiers of upper management, went into that?
And some companies wonder why their business isn't doing so well at times.
