We call this the "lottery rule" or, when management are not around, the "bus rule".
If the company can not function without a single employee, they also need to ban employees from buying lottery tickets. Or walking on streets patrolled by homicidal buses (is there any other kind when it comes to key employees?).
Bad management is a sign they are going to experience running the company without key employees sooner rather than later.
- artpi 5y agoI thought its a bus count factor - how many employees have to be in a bus accident for the company to suffer a fatal blow. Have never heard about the lottery one but that sounds like a nice positive spin!
