There is no official UNIVERSITY policy that says students must have their IDs on them at all times, I'm sure. No one is talking about a policy that says that.

What I said is, it is a perfectly reasonable expectation, considering the numbers of places that students are required to show their IDs to do university business, for them to have it with them.

But Jim seems to have changed the parameters of the argument now. Before he was balking at having to enforce a rule that requires students to show their university ID at the university mailroom window to pick up their packages.

Why Jim is fighting this is absolutely baffling, because it isn't a big fucking deal in the real world, and Jim looks like a power mad jerk, who is now going to be ostracized by his co-workers, and for good reason.

Not that Jim is being a bit judgmental or anything. The charges Jim is making against his co-workers are VERY serious, BTW. Grounds for actionable discipline. So you go for it Jim. You sure are one control freak, if these are the lengths you feel you have to go just to get your way.
