Re: It's not rocket science...

Reminds me of a time when I experienced the exact opposite. In the late 90s, the CEO of a subsidiary who had demanded something daft was ranting at me in my office about how I kept too tight a hand on tech use. In fact, he said, he knew that I had even banned the use of USB sticks. But between us, on the desk where he could see it, was a large box of USB sticks which I had just bought from my own budget, as staff always had difficulty getting them through departmental budgets, and when they needed them, helped themselves from the box.

(Bloke only lasted a few more months. He was trying to deflect some failing hairbrained scheme of his on to IT... )
