This is almost a perfect example of "sick system" (or how to keep people in abusive work/personal relationships):
Rule 1: Keep them too busy to think.
Rule 2: Keep them tired.
Rule 3: Keep them emotionally involved.
Rule 4: Reward intermittently.

- dpritchett 16y agoThat's horrifying. I can't help but wonder if it's not carefully crafted to ring true to everyone in the manner of a horoscope. Doesn't everyone have a tough job now and then? Doesn't everyone have rough relationships with friends or family when the counterparty is down? Who among us only associates with well-adjusted people and companies?
