This happened to me during a written final exam, and yes I bled on the test a bit. Was using one hand to control the bleeding, but sometimes I had to turn pages, plus it was dripping all down my arm. Even the digital scan showed my bloody fingerprints on every page plus some large drop stains.

That's like suggesting you trash a hotel room because of some grievance with corporate policy. What actually happens is some innocent housekeeper gets stuck cleaning up the mess you made. The local test proctors are tasked with following very strict procedures and not given any room for discretion, especially if the testee isn't voluntarily withdrawing. It has nothing to do with an individual lack of empathy.

No it isn't, nothing is being trashed. The proctors should be better trained instead of required to behave like unsympathetic robots.

The fact that the proctor refused to break protocol while the test was in-session demonstrates proper training.

Do you think they have a written tissue protocol?

Absolutely.

I find that kind of hilarious. Especially as they are the ones providing the tissues.

Thus costing the company money which, was the ultimate goal.

One person doing this can be thought of as an asshole, when a meaningful percent of people behave this way you get actual change and or lawsuits.

ironic. they demonstrate the exact lack of empathy they think they are deriding
