Ever worked somewhere that made you ask, “Who hurt you?” From banning metal forks to assigning an escort for the supply closet, this episode dives into the hilariously maddening world of workplace rules gone wrong. We’re putting stupid policies under the microscope—and laughing (and groaning) all the way through.

In this episode of Monster in My Closet, we tackle three big questions:
🔹 Why do ridiculous corporate rules exist in the first place?
🔹 How do these rules quietly kill morale, culture, and productivity?
🔹 What can leaders do instead of being lazy policy tyrants?

Expect paperclip pettiness, a rogue CEO with a camera, and practical tips for leaders who’d rather not become the villain in their company’s next glassdoor review.
