Forced Ranking Systems
These are a pox on corporate leadership ideals. They're arbitrary and work against efforts to encourage teamwork and build morale.
Stealing Miles
If my tush is in an airline seat 30,000 feet above the ground (or even worse, sitting on a runway for 11 hours), I deserve every frequent-flier mile those trips earn. Companies who steal their employees' frequent-flier miles do not deserve us as employees or as customers. Shame on them!
Love Contracts
Because they couldn't come up with a more intelligent way to combat sexual-harassment charges, a few bone-headed companies have established “love contracts, which they expect employees involved in romantic relationships with one another to sign. That's just goofy! We should be talking with employees and managers about appropriate boundaries and making it easy to report inappropriate behavior— not shoving contracts in their
faces.
Anti-Moonlighting Policies
I believe that we shouldn't compete with our employers. If I design kids' clothing for you, I shouldn't have my own kids-clothing design company on the side. But anti-moonlighting policies go further, preventing office employees from tending bar for a few bucks on Friday night or singing Ave Maria at a wedding for a fee. That's an outrage. Companies should manage
the work we perform for them, not our free time.
