2002 Worst Manual Contest Winners -- "Words are used out of context and language is vague or inappropriate, potentially exposing the company to lawsuits. For example, statements implying job security alternate with threats of discharge. The instructions in this manual explain more about how to get fired than about how to succeed at work. Paragraphs and information are mislabeled."
