Large (multi billion) American Tech MNCs India Setup:
Post the 2008 downturn, mandated shared hotel rooms for sales roles.
As luck would have it a mis-tagged "Sheetal" got roomed with a girl. Aero India in Bangalore ensured no other rooms were available.
Sheetal was ok, girl was not. Sheetal spent the night with helpful long-lost relative.

Companies will ask for Gender in every stupid form but ignore it and guess it based on name when it is actually needed. 😃

WITCH Co:
Stopped stocking restrooms with "paper". After a while stopped stocking restrooms with soap.
Mayhem ensued and they restored soap. Paper never made a comeback.

Switched from notion to wiki page, removed half of the diagnostic tools for metrics and debugging. Asked to implement open source solutions( though I don't mind that, as most of the saas products are just opensource projects + 1-1 support on top). Stopped internal projects which was demanding a high server cost, even lowered the server machine running.
