Agreed, Sir.

It truly has been eight years since the last one was issued. The thing is that people complained about not having one and there being confusion about just what the rules actually are..................
But even with one, the rules are malleable and the employee has little or no recourse.....
So, what is the point?

The management you have all believe in the myth's of Six Sigma be my guess too.
Non-Union? Right to Work (4 less) State?

Six Sigma is a joke as well. All of these things that come along, meant to increase efficiency and productivity..........I have never seen them really accomplish much, if anything. Even the so-called "incentivization" usually works great for a short while, then it sort of unravels.........Because most people simply react poorly to being told the other person is "better" than they are, regardless of whether it's true or not. I've watched that system actually create some pretty shitty attitudes.
Yes, non-union and "Right to Kneel".

Precisely what he said, a useless piece of document that will confuse and alienate the employees and that most rules can be challenged in a court of law if not equally applied. So we just have a single sheet of paper covering common sense workplace rules.

hard to believe unions are looked upon with such disdain ? I lost my job of 10 years in 2012 due to a point system I did not even violate. try and form a committee and get your job back in a right to work state.
start saying words like 'union' in earshot of middle management drones and see how long before you get invited to HR!

It's designed to be that way.
So that management can practice selective enforcement on any employee that they want to single out and fuck over.

Do you see where conflict can arise from that?

In a nutshell, this has been the american business model for a couple of decades at least.
In my previous job, I was hired to do a specific thing. At the end of 15 years, I was also doing the jobs of four other people who were "downsized" for the same pay. The 1% absorbed the increased productivity....
Do it or be downsized eh?

True. I've witnessed that. I've watched employers change a rule just to screw a single individual, then change it back. I was once told;
"Oh, we changed that."
"When?"
"A little while ago."
"And you informed no one?"
"It's in the handbook."
"What handbook?"
"Oh, you haven't received yours yet? I'll have to look into that."
So full of shit. This was during the 8 years we went without one. Supervisors were always making up rules on the fly, mysteriously unable to show us anything in writing.
