Diaper Principle

The Diaper Principle is like a “poo-tastic” metaphor for how some workplaces handle mistakes. 🩴💩 It’s when management, in response to one person’s blunder, makes everyone wear a metaphorical diaper to prevent future mishaps. In other words, instead of dealing with the real issue, they make everyone suffer the consequences of one person’s mess!
Guess what? Karen spilled coffee on her keyboard, and now we all have to attend a ‘how not to spill coffee’ workshop!”
Employee 2: “OMG, that’s the Diaper Principle in full swing! Can’t believe they’re diapering us for Karen’s coffee catastrophe!
