I work at a university here in the U.S. that understandably will do in-house hiring for a position that opens up. However there is a requirement that jobs have to be advertised to the public on the university website. Even if someone already working in the office or department is going to get the job, the job has been advertised and people are applying for it even though there's no chance they will get the job. A total waste of time and a cruel thing to do to people who are looking for work.

Back in the 1980's in the town where I live (U.S.) someone in a local factory or plant noticed a camera in a men's restroom and the owners found themselves with a wildcat strike.

This may be somewhat off-topic, but it's zany enough to mention. In the town where I live there is a center for in-coming calls. The employees have no direct contact with the public yet the office has a dress code that requires the phone workers to wear a certain kind of shoe.

Wow. I thought the call-in/phone center in my t own that required employees to wear a certain type of shoe was goofy, but this video has goofiness at a whole new level. This happened almost a hundred years ago, but is too good not share. I read this in the book "The Story of a Boy at the Hogarth Press" , (the publishing firm started by Leonard and Virginia Woolf) and this is my best recollection: A young man who worked for Woolfs came in at 9:01 and Leonard Woolf was going to dock him a minute's pay. The young man said he set his watch by the B.B.C. and was on time. Leonard Woolf set his watch by Big Ben and said the young man was late by one minute. What followed was a screaming argument about whether the time was 9:00 or 9:01. While the battle was raging, Virginia Woolf came in from outside, hadn't heard anything through the metal door, and said, "My watch has stopped. Does anyone know what time it is?"

I think it would be a scream to bring in one of those chair-bucket toilet chairs and set it next to your desk. Maybe put a roll of toilet paper on the edge of the desk. Don't say anything, just let the management see it. This would probably get the worker fired, but it would be so, so, so worth it!

@rickstubblefield4685 I wish I could answer your question, but it's been so long that I don't recall the specific details. There may have been something about not wearing running shoes, but instead wearing dress shoes. Whatever the rule was or is, it was really silly. I think it was also a no-blue-jeans job even though employees were never seen by the clients/callers or the public. I wonder if the company lost some good workers because of the ridiculous dress code for people that no one sees. I wonder if the workers now work from home. I'm glad I never got hired!
