Something I note: I think this post almost-but-not-quite-stands alone. I think the rest of the sequence was necessary to make the overall points Zvi is meaning to make, but I think there’s a narrower set of points that this post is making that only depend on you roughly having a sense that there’s a special kind of middle-management-hell that can exist.
I think you could summarize that in a few paragraphs and then have a pretty good standalone post, with pointers to the rest of the sequence for people that want to delve into the broader argument.
