Middle management ouija

The curious void whence management conviction comes.

It is not the CEO — she could not care a row of buttons about the federation of employees at all, much less the management information and statistics they generate, and any functional middle manager nominally charged with implementation will privately agree wholeheartedly that, for example, the 365 performance appraisal system is from its foundations up a nonce, achieving nothing but illicit patronage, resentment, rancour and demotivation — but while no single individual can be found to utter a word in is favour, all will be certain that someone else, way above my pay grade, a lot of someone else's, at so great a remove that I can scarcely imagine who they are, is insistent on it, and somehow the collective unconscious pushes it on, as if willed by some inner daemon.

This is the middle management ouija board.
