"The strange rules of global companies that ordinary people can see as ridiculous."

1.Disney with the "Do Not Use One Finger to Point" rule

All Disney employees are banned from using only one index finger to give way, but two fingers or both palms are required instead, because in some cultures finger-pointing is considered rude, and is unique to Walt Disney, who often tongs a cigarette while pointing the way.

2.Amazon with PowerPoint Flat Order

Jeff Bezos banned employees from using slides at meetings, but instead wrote six-page notes to force speakers to compile their thoughts in detail and depth rather than using short topics on slides that could drop their focus.

3. Apple and employment in "pseudo-projects"

Apple reportedly often puts newly entered employees to work on non-existent projects or fake goods, to test employees' integrity and confidentiality, before later allowing access to the company's top secrets.

4.Netflix and the "Unlimited Vacation" policy

Netflix employees can take any time off without formal approval because the company believes in measuring the success of a job rather than the number of hours they sit in the office. As long as the job is done and excellent, the company does not interfere with personal time.

5.Google with the "20% Time" rule for creativity

Google allows engineers to spend 20% of their work working on projects that are not related to the core, which is the rule that makes innovation change the world like Gmail and Google Maps from personal ideas to employees.
