The Golden Rule, as applied in business, points to treating all as equals, and all events as neutral. That being said, I am a believer in moving to the next “lower level”…and that is that our empoloyees deserve to be treated with all fariness and respect, at all times…more so than we treat ourselves.

Another thought that may be useful in coming as close as possible to practicing the Golden Rule in business — which you so rightly emphasize: To modify a line from the Occidental Honor Code in the ASOC Constitution — “That no executive shall take unfair advantage of another employee…”.

The Golden Rule solves many problems and is simply good business. If an employee is surprised by a bad review, getting fired, etc., it almost always is a negative reflection upon the management. The only time a “surprise” is warranted is when it’s something good or when actions that are nefarious, dangerous, or illegal are occurring and you cannot take the time to wait.
