we got a new visitor policy last week. The email was bolded, underlined and said: “ALL GUESTS MUST SIGN IN AND WAIT FOR SECURITY CLEARANCE BEFORE ENTERING. NO EXCEPTIONS.” I work front desk. normally, executives just walk through. But hey, the email said what it said. So when the CEO came in early for a board meeting, smiled, and started heading for the elevator. I handed him the clipboard and said, “Sorry sit, i’ll need you to sign in and wait while I call it in”

He looked confused, maybe a little amused, but sat down. security took their time, ten full minutes. The next morning, we got a new email: “Use discretion for executive level visitors.”

Go figure
