Each employee who signs up receives the Protect Our House wristband made of green rubber. "We believe there's a great story about the strength of the business," says Mr. Simon. Mr. Simon might want to consider a) what he gets by setting up his employees to sign such a pledge (particularly under duress) b) what he thinks this step is saying to his employees about his trust of them c) why out of 60k only 11k have stepped up to sign it (particularly under duress) d) how he can reconcile this step with the impression the employees may have of his past leadership e) how he might better have formed a tight knit “band of brothers” rather than a “chain gang”. Just my $.02. re the WSJ article:
