Ran across this great article from 2008, Top 25 Signs of a Dysfunctional Workplace. Published by HR World, I thought I'd share some of my personal highlights. For the full article, the link has been provided.
1. Nothing gets done without the bosses approval. (Bottleneck anyone?)
2. Nothing can get done unless employees go behind the bosses back. (If "it" works - you're gold. If not, see #16 below.)
3. No one is sure who the boss really is.
10. Reward system? What reward system? (You can't have a stick and no carrot!)
16. "Wall of Shame." (Boss openly chastises employees in public.)
21. What matters is not what you've accomplished in a day, but how many hours you were seen "working." (Let's reward productivity, not time spent in the office.)
25. No one ever gets fired, no matter how ineffective they are at their job. (Would someone please explain this to me????)
