Start by telling the interviewer that you follow all the company rules and support the company's leadership decisions regarding regulations. The interviewer wants to hear that you are not a rule-breaker and you support the rules the company has put into place. After all, there had to be some logic to their professional decision! Your willingness to remain a team player shows the interviewer that you respect decisions even when you recognize you would make different choices sometimes.

"We recently implemented split shifts at my current job, which I do not always agree with because they deter from a good work/life balance. With that said, I understand that split shifts cut labor costs and the need to hire additional staff, and I support the administration's decision."

"Honestly, there were not any company rules that I disliked at my last job. I felt that every rule they had was typical of a large organization and was there to protect the company and employees."
I worked for a company that had rules that placed restrictions on the use of PTO around certain dates and timeframes. I am a firm believer that staff should be able to use their PTO and they NEED to be able to use it. I recognized that the company had the rules in place for a reason and as a member of the leadership team I need to be supportive of the rules with staff. One thing that I did do is discuss with the administrative team during private meetings along with proposing potential solutions if they can be changed.
