At my old job, management decided that everything needed to go through the ticket system. No more quick fixes or hallway questions. If it wasn’t in a ticket, it didn’t happen.

So I did exactly what they asked. Every single little thing got a ticket. Mouse batteries low? Ticket. Printer jam? Ticket. Someone couldn’t remember their password? Ticket.

By the end of the first week, their system was so clogged they couldn’t keep up. Managers were drowning in tickets about tiny issues they never cared about before. Pretty soon they “clarified” the policy. We were supposed to use “common sense” and not ticket everything. Sure. That’s definitely what they said the first time.
