And the reason there is so much more visible (and still invisible) pushback, stuff went into ridiculous in offices and schools, biggest screamers and complainers basically got the biggest voice. It seems pendulum must swing to the extremes, some stable balanced rational position ain't possible now.
The problem is that HR's remit is minimizing legal liability.
Nothing about productivity or culture in there.
So invariably they spend far too much time and effort addressing the person who had an issue with handedness, without consideration of all the other people that's impacting.
You can't please everyone, but if you're HR, you try.
