I'm not going to bore anyone with the specifics but I have a real problem with one of our company policies. It just doesn't make sense. It angersthe customers and when they come and complain to me I really can't do anything but agree with them. When I approached my manager about it she looks at mean says, "well its the company policy."

Lately I hadbeen ignoring it but I almost got in trobule for it this morning. Does anyone else have a rule or policy at work that they just don't agree with?
 
u should really post what ur problem is but...... im a manager at finishline and we have a thing called conversion which is basically that for every 5customers, 1 of them has to buy something cuz we have to run a 20 percent conversion and its the dumbest thing because how can i make someone buy something ifthey dont have any money and any time the conversion is less than a 20, the managers in our stores get chewed out by our district manager.... had to vent onthat one!!!!!

tell us what the problem is
 
Ok, I work at a small bank, only 8 branches. So lets say you open your account at branch# 2. If you try to go to branch#7 and withdraw money we would have tocall branch#2 and obtain a approval from the officer that opened the account. If the officer is not there for whatever reason I'm not allowed to cash thecheck, even if the account holder has ID and everything.
 
sounds like a tech issue...that your systems are not in sync.

How come the opening officer has to approve it? Wouldn't anyone who can access the account be able to tell you if there are sufficient funds?

that's a ridiculous rule, id change banks if i found that out. I like the convenience and ease of using multiple branches.
 
i dont know how that bank continues to operate ... im not upset at a particular policy but my companies been cutting back and firing people due to the economyand yet i just recieved a bill for the food for our holiday party next month..$35K soley for food. Yet the CFO's talks cash flow issues all thetime..

W that is very annoying. Maybe bring it up in a meeting? Mostplaces have hotlines you can call with issues that can't be solved at your particular location, try that if it's available. Otherwise, I dunno fam..Where do you live? I could see that being hell working there if it was in NY or in the hood

Can you ask your boss WHY it is company policy?


And if he says, "Just because" or "That's what it is" slap that dude.
 
Damn

I dunno what to say then. I wouldn't be able to deal withthat crap.. Things always ran smooth at my bank on 125th but the tellers always got so much *%+%.. I can't imagine what you dealin with.. What bank is it?
 
you could obviously try to be that implementative individual and make something happen, but you'd probably get fired

Idk how to guage your situation tho. It's too many other factors thatcould affect what you got going on there and how you should act. This could easily be an opportunity to show initiative and actually help the company. Thisis why I don't want to work for "the man"
 
Banks have the strangest policies.

Just yesterday I tried to get gas and all I had was a 100 dollar bill. The gas station couldn't change it.

So I went to 3 different banks just to get change out of a 100 dollar bill and all 3 banks wouldn't let me do it because I wasn't a member of theirbank.

Thats probably off topic but I'd hate it for anybody that works in a banking industry... especially times like these
