No need to get Arsy!

"life's a game boy, a game that must be played by the rules" I'm aware that J.D Salanger wrote this in one the opening paragraphs of the Catcher in the Rye. However I think my manager may be living and dying by this quote. I wouldn't mind his eternal moaning, bitching while enforcing any rule down to the letter, including ones his made up such as really silly ones about leaving shoes and not being able to buy booze on the work Christmas Do (in January). Surely there is a way out of this, maybe leaving whistleblwing links to HR open on most computer screens will send some sort of hint on the morale of the staff
