Now work in groups. Design a set of rules for a typical oil or gas company in your country.

Think about the rules for: forms of address; working place; dress code; timekeeping; overtime; telephones and the Internet; parking; gifts; sickness; any other areas.

Study the information of the company culture at Racetrac Petroleum, Inc given by one of the clients and say what is wrong.

Race Trac corporate managers and office staff alike display and maintain a hostile and very negative attitude and work environment from their store cashiers right on up to the corporate offices in Atlanta.

I have been amazed to walk into a store only to hear managers and the assistant managers verbally degrading and humiliating fellow employees, shift managers and customers alike.

I was privy to one assistant manager in a Central Florida degrading an elderly black gentleman to the point the man looked at the young manager and told her in no uncertain terms that she made him feel as though he was being handled by a master on a slave farm again. Not a good thing... This same store the assistant manager cusses at fellow employees she does not like and calls them useless worthless pieces of crap in front of whoever is in the store at the time...

At this same store I witnessed the store manager and a man having an all out fight about buying a car and with yelling, screaming, and threats. I am so amazed that RaceTrac allows this from their employees.

It seems as though RaceTrac owners and board members do not care what’s happening in their store.
