Having a Tiger for a boss
12 August, 2010 - 17:37
They may be over 30 years old but these interoffice memos are a classic case of how not to win over your employees.
The memos were written by Edward Mike Davis, former CEO of the now-defunct Tiger Oil Company in Houston, Texas. Something tells us the employee engagement scores were probably quite low at the company.
If Davis had simply-communicate as a resource back in the 1970's, we're sure his internal communications would have been far more....tactful.
Happy reading!
