Open Door Policy

What is Open Door Policy?


1.

An example of corporate double speak.

A "policy" in a corporationthat purports to invite open communications with middle management by stating their door is always open as a matter of policy. However, it's just human resources bullshit, as such feedback is almost universally NOT desired by the managers, 90% of whom will see such interruptions as wasting time.

Because it is not really a policy, it's a statement that is designed to lull employees into the womb of contentment while not actually accomplishing anything.

See also closed door policy.

"Man, our benefits package this year really blows! I wish I could tell management."

"Hey, doesn't your department have an Open Door Policy?"

"Are you kidding? They just say that because it sounds friendly. If I bitched to my manager about this, I'd be shown the door."
