People such as are described in this article are in the great minority. That said I believe this nations workforce has turned into the biggest bunch of puss*es imaginable. No "boss" keeps his/her job in todays competitive business world unless he gets the job done. What matters is results and anyone who claims that being a more kind and sensitive boss will get the average worker to work harder has probably been playing to much pocket pool.

bad advise indeed... Eventually, you’ll be let into the boss’ inner circle — a lackey, but a protected one.

yeah, when i grow up, i want to be a Lackey. But a PROTECTED Lackey... please
