Open Door Policy

An example of corporate double speak. A "policy" in a corporation that 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.
