A recipe for failure
This article indicates a lack of maturity and experience. From the typographical errors to the failure to understand that policies are necessary to avoid legal issues, the article indicates that the author does not take responsibility for his work. Sorry to be so harsh. IT people tend to spend way too much time reacting and no where near enough time planning. They react with the quickest, easiest solution they can find and ignore the potential consequences of what is often an irresponsible and inadequate effort. This ends up wasting business resources in the long run. I've seen it happen on several occassions, where an employee fails to follow policy and ends up wasting money. Your point seems to be that if the employee is not going to follow the policy anyway, why have one? In the end the policy becomes the basis to eliminate such employees without risk of a wrongful termination suit.
