> Every company has Policies. Zero companies have Realities which match their policies. This means nothing.

Throughout the years I've grown a dislike of company policies.

They feel like a tool designed to discard accountability down the totem pole.

An executive asks an underling to write a policy, he publishes the report with or without a revision or care, and from thereon any and all responsibility regarding a problem is automatically circumscribed to the poor entry-level bastard who was forced to something remotely related to the policy.
