I’ve worked at places where you walk on egg-shells or are afraid to do anything for fear of reprisal…You get yelled at if you do something without permission, and you get yelled if you don’t take initiative and do something. It’s not pretty, and working in fear is not a way to work.

Having said that, winning fixes everything. This could be happening in New England, or Atlanta (or other branches off the Belichick/Patriot Tree) but no one cares because they win. This will (for better or worse) be a non-story IF the Chiefs win.

First of all, you’re running a professional football team, not the CIA. Secondly, who the hell is going to steal or sell your secrets when you are a 7-9 team who got blown out by Detroit, Buffalo, and the NY Jets. Pioli needs to get over himself. Association with the Patriot Way doesn’t in itself justify being an overbearing, paranoid control freak.

Intimidation doesn’t work. Not in American workplace in 2012. You may be able to get short term result, but eventually the low morale will eat away your profit and the workforce.

WTF?

It’s like when a girl says she doesn’t suck dick while she’s sucking your dick.

I’m not going to say that we’ve never done it, but it’s not something we do.

WTF?

You can be a dick, as long as you win. Rex Ryan is finding out this lesson the hard way.

I cant wait for the Internet tough guy to show up and tell us how those lazy, libtard pussy employee should just buck up.

Among the other highlights, an undisputed story about Pioli leaving a candy wrapper (no word on the variety) in a back stairwell and seeing how long until someone picked it up. After a week, Pioli had the wrapper placed in a bag and shown at a meeting to demonstrate the lack of detail that pervaded the building.

what a dickhead.

He should have asked George Costanza how to do a real candy set-up

repeat after me, there is no expectation of privacy in using company computer’s and e-mail.
Completely depends on what a corporate policy is presented to you at time of hire. Fortune 500 companies will provide employees phone/internet guidelines. I’m not saying they can’t monitor people ever but it produces a counter-productive atmosphere.

Creating urgency and bringing in new ideas is productive. Creating an atmosphere or suspicion and negativity is toxic. Just because he shakes the tree a bit doesn’t make is dickishness okay.

This drives away good employees. What a loser.
