Oh for crying out loud!

The trouble with so many things in today's society is idiots who can't understand a little bending of the rules for a good reason.I suppose the "it's the rule" crowd is fine with the zero-tolerance policies that suspend a kid for a butter knife as though it were a bayonet.

I don't know the specifics of why the policy was put in place other than safety, I don't know how legitimate the safety concerns are, but if it involves heavy machinery or some other reason that involves other people's safety, then she had no right to ignore those rules. If it was just because they didn't want employees taking unschedualed breaks, then yes, I am on her side.
But from what the article said, it was about safety concerns in a production enviroment. It doesn't sound like the sort of working enviroment where you can just be completely blase about the rules...
