Loyalty
======
Loyalty cuts both ways. An organisation should reward a loyal staff. If an organisation does terminations mercilessly, then staff morale will be badly affected, which in turn makes it hard to build loyalty.
Get it done today
=============
A lack of respect for an employee's personal time. Bosses often do so to hand in their own deliverables timely. Yet, shouldn't there be a consensus on when the work can be completed?
Deliver it as you promised
====================
Many managers insist that the promised delivery date is to be fulfilled. Are managers glorified time keepers? Or should they, with their experience help to spot potential problems before they happen?
I don't think it needs 5 days
=====================
This either produce a slipshod work in the end, or force the employee to put in serious overtime. Like, "Get it done today", the manager would appear uncaring.
