Assuming, of course, we contact any reasonable, good-thinking, professional, NFL coaches.

1.) The blinds thing is done at Gillette, too, with a nearby hotel. It's done because people were found to be spying on practices.

I see your point.

That's nothing like the corporate world at all.

I'm not sure I understand the significance of the gum/candy wrapper in the stairwell, and I have not read through all 670 some posts looking for the answer.

But instead of just leaving it there for a week, then picking it up and making an issue of it at a meeting, wouldn't the logical thing to have done been going to the custodian for that area... or the head of the custodian department... and let them know what your expectations were as to the cleanliness of the facility? Maybe even in a private setting?

And why not workout before or after work so you aren't ridiculed for which stairwell you're seen in going to the facility gym? Just eat lunch by yourself so you don't have to worry about who your seen leaving with. It's quite simple really.

I work for a Fortune 5 company. We take "governance" training 1 time per month. We monitor web access, company cell phones, and the whole 9 yards.

We also don't monitor the length of employee lunch breaks, who they're conversing with inside and outside of the workplace, or anything of the sort.

See, my company measures employees by their PERFORMANCE.

SUCCESSFUL companies don't operate the way you think they do. They certainly don't operate the way the Chiefs have been operating.

Wouldn't a janitor's performance be judged by trash left on the floor for a week?

A good manager wouldn't make a public spectacle of it.

I agree that it's simple.

But should they REALLY have to focus on those things?

Wouldn't you rather employes of a football team are focusing on, oh I don't know...FOOTBALL?
