每日原则：对当事人当面不能直说的话，背地里也不要说，要批评别人就当面指出来

如果下属不在场，管理者不得议论下属。如果会议上讨论的事情与某些员工相关而其不在场，我们总要确保在事后发给他们一份会议录音和其他相关信息。

Criticism is welcomed and encouraged at Bridgewater, but there is never a good reason to bad-mouth people behind their backs. It is counterproductive and shows a serious lack of integrity, it doesn’t yield any beneficial change, and it subverts both the person being bad-mouthed and the environment as a whole. Next to being dishonest, it is the worst thing you can do in our community. 

Managers should not talk about people who work for them if they are not in the room. If someone is not present at a meeting where something relevant to them is discussed, we always make sure to send them a recording of the meeting and other relevant information.
