I'm the author. I've largely worked in places where firing people is next to impossible, and my colleagues usually think the opposite - in contexts where firing people is possible, the people who lie perpetually should gradually get eliminated. It's hard to quantify which setup has it worse, but tweaking the 'easy to fire people' dial seems like it either does nothing, or needs some other changes alongside it. I'm still open to the possibility that large enterprises just tend to become terrible, and that's that.
