This zero-tolerance (ie. intolerant) stuff might play ok on a 10-second TV

occasionally, and for goodness knows what particular reason, some otherwise
very useful member of the staff is unable to comply with the edict.
Presumably when you accept the offer of employment at such a place the
conditions of continued employment are spelled out to you, and if you have a
problem with their zero tolerance then you will not be hired. I know
of one place
where armed guards are positioned at each corner of each floor of each
building. This particular work environment has zero tolerance for visitors
wandering around unescorted, among other policies. If you want a
job there, you
accept these conditions. Being bled of important talent is not their
highest
priority.
