    I’ve read this before and my favourite section is the one at the end about how to make an office run inefficiently and it just describes a normal office. Have lots of useless meetings. Work as slow as possible without getting fired. Gossip about your co-workers. Give poor training to new hires. Be irritable and hostile.

      Yes, I love that part. In my first workplace, they hired 2 senior managers from the main competitor - they were ticking a lot of these boxes, so I seriously started considering if it’s intentional to ruin our small but growing company. Then I just realized that this is how most offices work, very ineffieciently.
