I went to dinner with Jorey tonight. He relayed an interesting story of corporate madness. One of his friends went to work at Kimberly Clark. They have a strict set of HR policies that defines the entitlements of each worker based upon their seniority and contribution level within the organization. The entitlement system covers things like whether you have an office, a cubicle, the size of the cubicle, and whether you are at a window or not. Apparently his friend was given a cubicle by a window but did not have proper credentials to permit him to have the priveledge of a window seat. The solution to this that the HR department created was to cover the window so that he couldn't see outside through it.
