As a manager you have rules to follow ..... if it is not in direct violation of the company or corporate rule that would be exceptionable...

Like coming in at8 am when the employee has work hours from  7 am -4 pm than the work hours can be changed to8 am -5 pm  as long a40 hour week is worked ...

So you got to work around issues like people going to the doctor, taking classes at school, however you have to make sure your employees  understand not to abuse a privilege ...

Mr. Lemos got it right if it comes to rules like fighting, computer abuse going to for-bitten sites.. stealing ... is not subject to special treatment or privilege.

Our company purchased coffee for the employees ... at times our department received samples and at times we purchased from our own wages  specialty coffee with flavor ...

One of the supervisors thought it was a special treatment our department received and asked to purchase flavored coffee ...

She was upset to hear that we were not able to do so. At the end it was her fault the free coffee got eliminated for every one ... the point is ...do not take a privilege for granted. It can be taken away...

Yes If I find that rules are not fair or are old rules that need to be changed.

As a manager, I would deploy same rules of all of my employees, without any kind of discrimination and favorability, based on the organization policies.

Depends on the rules. 

Work rules are like traffic rules- Some are set in stone, some are realistically flexible.

My first response is yes, I would.  I'm quite sure I have interpreted the rules and the ideas behind them.  Bending the rules is fine when required.

what are the special cases? corruption, seduction? This is an important question that started phylosophical reflexion in the early stages of civilization:

Aristotle's Doctrine of the Mean

 

You don't need to read the entire article just focus on the quote: "virtue is in the surrounding mean". So if everybody would in the same circumstances bend the rules that's probably OK to do it.

Yes. I would not hesitate to bend it for the sake of good, but not without consulting my superior.
