Changing systems, rules, and regulations at work can be a major headache. Sometimes, when you think you’re optimizing the workflow to be more efficient and cost-effective, you’re actually making things way harder. Not just for the staff, but for your clients, too. In short, managers shouldn’t mess with overhauling existing systems until they first understand them and why they exist.
Redditor u/Gai_InKognito, who approves morning staff at a medical facility, opened up about how management changed the entire process for the worse. The issue? This meant that, according to the new policy, the employee had to start calling other workers up in the middle of the night… when they were obviously sleeping. This led to widespread panic and utter chaos. Bored Panda reached out to the author of the post, u/Gai_InKognito, and they were kind enough to share what their job was like, as well as their thoughts about managers changing long-standing work policies. You’ll find the full story, as well as our interview with the author as you scroll down.
