Sam Zell's new employee manual
Today's Los Angeles Times includes a story about the new, unique employee handbook that Tribune Co. CEO Sam Zell passed out to his employees.
Here's the opening:
"Rule #1: Use your best judgment."
"Rule #2: See Rule 1."
Zell describes the handbook as shorter, more direct and as a document insinuates trust.
But the newspaper's points out, "The plain language and direct, almost jocular tone of the handbook -- unusual in the corporate world -- may make it a legal minefield, some employment lawyers said. At 3,663 words, the new Tribune manual is about a third as long as the dense, 11,519-word edition it replaced."
