Businesses do this shit all the time. There are rules and guidelines that must be ignored for the job to work smoothly. They exist to cover the ass of the employer if something ever goes wrong, they say "due process was not followed" and move on.
What are some of these rules at your place of work?
Obviously don't, erm, dox yourself or anything please.
Social distancing is enforced and can be a fireable thing but is absolutely impossible.
I worked at a job where it was absolutely verboten to conduct training.
We were hired without any experience, assigned solo projects, advertised as world-class, contracted out as skilled experts, and berated harshly as well as rewarded based on performance.
Our manager told us an angry client had said "what, do you have bus boys doing this work?" and our manager was retelling it like he thought it was a ridiculous and offensive thing to say.
No, the client isn't accusing you of handing work to your bus boy in between water refills- he's accusing you of hiring bus boys, which a fifth of the staff literally was before this job, because that is outlandish and ridiculous for the expensive services we are selling. You hired an actual waiter and put him on this specific client, and didn't train him, and that's the reason this specific work was so bad. The client is exactly correct but he doesn't realize it
my work was filled with boomers who got mad at me (fucking snitches reported me) watching twitch/youtube while programming
The major safety mechanism on the machines I run don't work. There's pretty explicit rules about not running machines with broken or faulty safeguards.
There's also loads of quality control processes that we just ignore to make our production schedules. I've had a supervisor sign off on parts we all knew were bad just because we needed them ready to ship in a few hours.
Also basically the entire training process was non-existent, and they actually have a very thorough training plan laid out. Turnover and production demand is just too high to actually follow it.
All rules and guidelines exist to better serve the interests of workers.
