A Comedy Talk
summary
A satirical playbook lists concrete policies: keystroke interceptors that log every typed character into a manager folder, webcams that file two‑minute clips, and mandatory half‑hour status reports from engineers; an org layout is literal—sloped floors with managers elevated, taller chairs for higher rank, and a proposed sprinkler system to "wash" people out (untested). Other inventions include calendar-to-Gantt conversion called autoganting, standing‑desks-as-all‑day‑scrum, mailed/virtual speaking batons, tasers and a red‑hot‑poker for meeting control, and catchy hygiene memos like printing slogans on toilet paper.
