Corporate rulemakers must wake up every morning and choose chaos. After reading Forbes’ list of the most absurd office rules still haunting workplaces today, I had to laugh—because honestly, who hasn’t been trapped by at least one of these gems? From timing bathroom breaks to banning personal desk items (heaven forbid you display a photo of your dog), it’s like someone proudly declared, “Let’s make adulthood feel like middle school again!”
And the worst part? These rules rarely make anyone more productive… but they do make great stories. The kind you read, nod along to, and think, “Yep. Been there. Survived that.”
This is exactly the brand of corporate nonsense I dive into in All Up in Your Bizness, because navigating office life requires equal parts strategy, sarcasm, and the ability to laugh so you don’t spontaneously combust at your desk.
If you’ve ever side-eyed a policy manual, you’re in good company. Now tell me—what’s the most ridiculous rule you’ve ever had to follow?
