I work in property management. It seems like every time I go out of my way, and perhaps even bend the rules for people it always comes back to bite me in the behind. Usually it happens because people don't know how to keep their mouth shut and end up telling my supervisor about something I did for them. Then my supervisor comes to me and asks me why I did x,y, and z for such and such. I'm discovering that doing favors for people and customers is not really worth it and always comes back to bite me 90% of the time.

I'm glad to hear that you are finished doing favors!
I am a manager in work in property management, commercial and industrial. We depend on our employees paying strict attention to policy, and to the letter of the legal documents, whether a lease, amendment, license, easement, or permit.
There are not many ways (I can't think of any) that an employee could grant a "favor" to a tenant or "bend the rules" without being fired immediately.

That's why you do it "By the book" they don't like it? Tough, you only give customers what they pay for, not more.
