This Sounds Familiar

Meet Der Movement.

Read this.

Organisations hire smart people, but then positively encourage them not to use their intelligence. Asking difficult questions or thinking in greater depth is seen as a dangerous waste. Talented employees quickly learn to use their significant intellectual gifts only in the most narrow and myopic ways.

Don't question the dogma!  Using critical thinking in the "movement," recognizing illogical inconsistencies, pointing out falsehoods, elaborating on flawed approaches - that is all a recipe for getting yourself labelled "insane" and "crazy and bitter."

Those who learn how to switch off their brains are rewarded. 

Meet your Quota Queen "leadership!"

By avoiding thinking too much, they are able to focus on getting things done. 

By "getting things done" we mean here getting the D'Nations and thus making a living off of the foolishness of the Type I rank-and-file.

Escaping the kind of uncomfortable questions that thinking brings to light also allows employees to side-step conflict with co-workers. 

After all, questioning the likes of Johnson, Taylor, Brimelow, or MacDonald results in the cordon sanitaire, and you don't want that!

By toeing the corporate line, thoughtless employees get seen as ‘leadership material’ and promoted. 

Spencer?  Johnson?

Smart people quickly learn that getting ahead means switching off their brains as soon as they step into the office.

See above.

No matter how hard you search there is little – if any – leadership to be found. 

Oh, indeed.

What most executives actually spend their days doing is sitting in meetings, filling in forms and communicating information.

Or rattling the tin cup. D'Nations!

One of the most common tactics is doing what everyone else is doing, even if it is wrong.

Follow the dogma...or else.

Being overly opportunistic is also advisable.

We will win!  Put away those black pills!  Now, to make that victory possible, send in the D'Nations!  Don't be an insane negative complainer!

Hey, Greg, is Taylor "telling the truth" when he denounces yesterday's Trump supporters? His words: Wild yahoos, absolutely idiotic.
