The boss employee relationship parallels the parent child relationship: consistency is the key. When employees aren’t sure of the rules or if they feel you are unfair, you set yourself up for office drama in the form of power struggles, backstabbing, gossip and even turnover.

December 6, 2008 at 12:16 am. I just heard the CBS evening news about Peer Bearings selling their company then surprising their employees by dividing the 6.6 million dollar bonus among their 230 employees.

Practical Wisdom for Life and Business. March is SYD Month. Circumstances Reveal Who You Are.
