The Gervais Principle comes to mind.


Took a quick skim at that blog:

* It seems initially derivative of Moral Mazes - there are a couple sentences almost lifted wholesale.

* Part three seems more psychoanalytic than Moral Mazes and quite original.

* The fannish references to The Office are kinda irritating IMO. Might be less so if I'd watched more than a few episodes, probably the same for others.

I'm gonna give it a deeper look though.


A great read. Dude is a good writer.

Terrible point though. It's a humor post masquerading as a business / organizational analysis.

It filters 1950s mgmt books through a humorous comic and then through a fictional TV show. An organization viewed through the lens of fiction, then viewed through the lens of more fiction (a comic), and then through some old business management books. Very Simulation-vs-Simulacra.
