I'm tempted to automatically reject any incoming feature requests that have typos or bad grammar in them.

I was going to include stupid requests in that too, but then I'd probably be out of a job.

if you say so

You mean like simply logging out when they leave? We've spent tens of thousands of dollars writing, testing, and implementing code just we can back people out when they leave. We have millions of prompts that a person could be sitting at, and the code has to be specific for each one. All because operations management refuses to tell their guys to log out. What a waste of money.

that's cuz there's no incentive

perhaps offer an immune boosting treat, for each week full of 100% logouts

There is if you make it part of their branch operations reporting. A simple PROC program that lists the names and employees still logged in at midnight that are inactive. Each person is a ding on your operational score. Bingo! 10 minutes to add it to the nightly report and watch the amount of people still logged in drop like a stone.
