I heard of the following rules from Dorothy Bowman who was my HR director years ago. Dorothy had experience in the federal bureaucratic wars (Navy if I recall correctly), but the rules work almost anywhere:
- If it doesn’t say you can’t, you can.
- It’s easier to get forgiveness than permission.
- Proceed until apprehended!
The rules work beautifully, but there may be hell to pay if (when??) you get caught. So, good luck!
Let’s be careful out there!
