A manager quoted policy at me today as if I had written it to make their life difficult. Truth? Policies are there to guide, not to weaponise. Have you ever seen rules used in completely the wrong way?

Yes, I’ve seen company policies used inappropriately. For instance, an employee was reprimanded for taking time off for mental health reasons, despite our policy explicitly supporting mental wellness. It created a culture of fear rather than support, highlighting the need for clearer communication and sensitivity in policy application.

That is exactly it ..when policies are used as a stick instead of a guide, they do the opposite of what they are meant to. Your example really shows how badly it can damage trust and culture.
