Breadcrumbed At Work
Breadcrumbing is a corporate practice in which the employee is provided the bare minimum or less than optimal information, feedback, rewards by the manager, keeping it a one-way communication.
The employee feels dejected, unvalued and confused. He has to work harder due to the opacity and limited set of information. He is kept in the dark as crucial information is not shared with him easily. There is no encouragement or listening to new ideas.

- Important information is thrust upon the employee, rather than taking his opinion first.
- There is no interest of the employer in employee development or empowerment.

A well-designed decoy can shift our decision making between two options as much as 40%.

The Unattractive Option
- The Unattractive Third Option (The Decoy) has no real value in itself and is just placed to sway the decision maker towards the higher-priced option.
- The Decoy's only purpose is to make the expensive option appear like a bargain.
- This has also been widely used in subscription options of magazines and in the high-end diamond market.
