While I generally agree, I can imagine that there are some people out there that have been treated so poorly by their bosses, that they either feel it would not be a productive conversation, or they are just flat out afraid of their bosses reaction (and rightly so), or (as in the case of the article) they feel that extreme action is the only course of action that get their point across. Although, to that last point, one of the bosses at my job (but not my department) is like that, and he still cannot figure out why people up and quit on him, even though he's just a complete shit-head. I must admit to a enjoying healthy dose of schadenfreude whenever it happens.
