Have you ever had to come to terms with a company policy you didn't like?
I did. I had to come to terms with a new policy a few years ago. According to this policy we had to and still have to track every task in a special time management system. Initially, I found it annoying because I felt like I had extra work to do. But to be honest, over time, I realized it helped me stay more organized. (Dmitry, B2-level learner)
