I have a person who works in my group that has become a master
at obeying the companies rules.
When given an assignment he will go far enough to find a
conflict with the company rules, like an obscure purchasing
procedure that requires a VP signature or a procedure
that requires many approvals but which has not in recent
history been observed as required. In short he looks for the
loopholes in the company procedures and uses them to
be a pain in the rear.
On the other hand the guy is obeying the rules. But only for
his benefit.
It is of course difficult to discipline this guy for this
kind of behavior since he has does nothing wrong.
My point is that every company has conflicting rules and
an understood way to do things and this guy is not playing
along.
How can we force the issue that he must be a team player???
