The rumor mill is much more effective than group meetings or newsletters. B end the rules for your favorite employees, but make everyone else toe the line. C riticize employees loudly in front of their co-workers. Everyone should know when someone has made a mistake so they won't make the same mistake. D isregard employee complaints or suggestions and don't provide employees any means of presenting their gripes.
Employees have nothing of value to say.
E liminate excesses, like employee breaks and extra benefits. Employees don't appreciate what you do for them, and you're always looking to improve the bottom line. F reeze wages and benefits for employees, but give yourself a hefty increase and throw in a fancy, showy car while you're at it. After all, the business would've done better if the employees had worked harder. G overn with an iron fist.
