CEO Receives Ticket After Employee Follows Boss's Orders to Call Police for Every Alarm

In a workplace scenario, a boss instructed an employee to call the police every time the security alarm went off, regardless of whether it was a false alarm. The employee, designated as the "burglar alarm contact," followed this policy diligently, despite numerous false alarm calls. However, when he raised concerns about the effectiveness of the policy, the COO brushed off the issue and insisted that no retraining was needed.

The employee continued to follow the policy and called the police as instructed. Unfortunately, on one occasion, the CEO happened to be speeding in the vicinity and received a ticket as a result. This incident highlighted the flawed nature of the policy and the lack of consideration for potential consequences. It served as a reminder of the importance of ensuring that policies are well-thought-out and effective before enforcing them on employees.
