Workplace ecard: 'They say it's our fear of failure that holds us back. But I blame Human Resources for hiring stupid middle-managers.'' Ecard image showing: 'They say it's our fear of failure that holds us back. But I blame Human Resources for hiring stupid middle-managers.''

About This Card

‘I no longer work in an office environment: people couldn’t handle my realness. It’s a pity because I really enjoyed it, especially ‘Mysterious Fire Mondays.’ I miss the middle-management types, mostly. I miss seeing the good-natured fear in their eyes whenever I visited their houses late at night to remind them that ’everybody sleeps sometime’.

from the newsletter

Private schools, I suspect, teach children how to be in charge of children from public schools. They fill them with status anxiety and encourage them to get MBAs, in the hope they can grow up into the sorts of people who enter companies and fundamentally ruin them from the inside, and make everybody secretly hate them.
