As a middle manager in a corporate hellscape, one of my few joys in life is setting logic traps for HR and making them choose between admitting company policy is bullshit or directly instructing me to violate labor laws.
if it's the latter, just get it in writing.
That's the goal.
Theres something enormously satisfying about asking the question "And are you willing to give me that in writing?"
Then watching them squirm as something in their brain goes full Ackbar "ITS A TRAP!"
