This article aims to highlight aspects that new management communication shares with the French Labour Code. Our study is based on the analysis of a series of management communication manuals, as well as two corpuses of laws: the 1982 Auroux laws and the 2016 Labour law. Our hypothesis is that the type of representations of labour which brings them together is the denial of a fundamental asymmetry between employees and leaders or (top-)managers, in the context of language practices at work. Our goal is to understand why legislators, as well as theorists of new management communication, seem to reduce, even ignore, the existence of this asymmetry. This is also the denial of a world where work is based on employees’ subordination, in such a way that we don’t dialogue "on equal terms" at work. That also shows the pervasiveness of neoliberals and neo-managerial logics on the Labour Code Reform for almost forty years.
