Am I the douchebag? Microsoft? Executives in general? Capitalism? Business bloggers? I'd love to know, because what you've written is about 70% of the way to being good, but just not quite there, which is more frustrating than anything else.

We've all read Dale Carnegie and Art of War by now. The most effective people in the global economy should be able to fire someone and make it look like a "business decision" or better yet, some kind of Soviet-era technocratic rationalism. The only way to create the correct productivity theater is by you, and only you being in charge. Because, you are the super hero here. Everyone else shall listen to you as you have proven most adept at enslaving the credulous to enrich your corporate masters. Hats off to the invisible hand and the infinite wisdom of corporations. If it weren't for the them and the military-industrial complex enslaving the third world, we wouldn't all be so happy wasting our lives waiting in traffic so we can get to work and be fired by a douchebag like yourself.
