Let's go through these one by one.

Strict sandwich leave: Not sure what this means. I assume it means "leaving your workstation to eat a quick lunch, such as a sandwich." I wish it wasn't so strict either, but I could go either way here. (EDIT: I have been corrected and now agree with the guy complaining!)

Mandatory 10-7 office timing: Dude, if YOU can't keep a schedule, that's YOUR problem. That said, when I worked in a big retail store in 2004, I did once get a minor chewing-out for NOT taking my break because I was so busy that day that I worked the whole nine hours. Credit to the store in question, but things are probably different now.

Salary deductions for late arrivals: See above. You're working less time, you're getting less pay. Arrive on time.

Time tracker for not moving mouse: Okay, THAT'S overboard, what the hell? I'm serious, what penny-pinching jackassery is this? I'm with the complaining guy! What if you have to pee?!

Not allowed to change password or access work email credentials: Very odd, especially the latter. Valid complaint.

CEO's office auto-locked: I get the big man wants his privacy, but a trustworthy man would want to listen to and address concerns, in my eyes. What's the boss afraid of? What's he hiding?

Quitting requiring 15 days notice: Isn't this standard policy? Give them two weeks to find someone to replace you? That's what I've always heard.

Overall, not as bad as I was fearing, but I still understand this guy's concerns, and get why he left.

Full disclosure: I have never worked an office job, so there could be a LOT that I'm missing. Maybe this particular job really is as painful and draining as he says it is. Still, again, I get why he doesn't want it.
