The piece really resonated with me and my own findings [bias is nice sometimes ;)]. The only pushback [and that is even too harsh of a word] is to perhaps clarify the word management and managers as used in the piece.

From my personal and other experiences and research Upper Management is the one championing these types of "corporate esotericism" whereas middle management is just trying to stay afloat.
