An example of corporate double speak.
A "policy" in a corporation that purports to invite open communications with middle management by stating their door is always open as a matter of policy. However, it's just human resources bullshit, as such feedback is almost universally NOT desired by the managers, 90% of whom will see such interruptions as wasting time.
Because it is not really a policy, it's a statement that is designed to lull employees into the womb of contentment while not actually accomplishing anything.

"Man, our benefits package this year really blows! I wish I could tell management."
"Hey, doesn't your department have an Open Door Policy?"
"Are you kidding? They just say that because it sounds friendly. If I bitched to my manager about this, I'd be shown the door."

Get the Shut the front doormug. A reception/small party, (often involving cake or some form of refreshments), held when a person hated by everyone in the workplace is either resigning, or being "let go." Everyone's more than happy to "give them cake, and show them the door."
Shane (upon seeing the refreshments laid out): Ooh, is it someone's birthday?
Clive: No, haven't you heard? Mary just got a higher-paying position with another firm!
Shane: Awesome! Time to give that bitch a cake-and-door party!
