Ten rules of fear in the workplace

The link below is a good article about a work culture of fear and being non-productive. Just the quote below says it all:

"Talk to my boss?" my friend exclaimed. "Are you nuts? I tell my boss exactly what he wants to hear. People who tell my boss what he doesn't want to hear are people who get laid off at the end of the quarter."

Been there, done that.

From prior experiences in work cultures (careful now....someone may be monitoring these posts...), these comments are so true. Unbelievable when you have unqualified people who only learn from their other incompentent predecessors become top dogs. In-breeding in business is so common, and in most instances, bad for the employees and customers. Read the link below (copy and paste in the URL) and see if you are one of the "lucky" ones to work in such an environment.
