When people in charge make you do things so specific you think they have a grudge against you and they probably do.
They told me I had to use a green pen on Mondays and a blue pen on Fridays. I asked why. They said, 'It’s the official policy.'
My boss wanted me to say 'good day' in the exact same tone every time. I tried to be cheerful. He said I was 'not following the protocol.'
They made me take a break at exactly 10:00 a. m. I took it at 10:01. They gave me a warning.
