The article doesn't mention anything about your claims. Do you have citations, or are you just making up things to snark about?

If we'd like to start scientifically collecting data I will gladly confirm I have observed this, "made up snark"

  You have execs disappearing for months at your employer? I work in an international 80k employee company, I can’t imagine an exec disappearing. These have no direct reports? In my company it’s a ticket for being let go, when you have no reports… Of course I don’t have super great visibility, but the 4 above me in my line of report, I don’t see how they could disappear.

Not as made up as the value executives bring to their company. Feigning academic interest is nauseating by the way. You bring nothing to the conversation and demand other people do work until you reach some arbitrary level of satisfaction; even after doing the work you'd just disappear from the conversation and not have your opinion changed. Searching through your comment history you've only offered citations or references a handful of times, despite having over 11,000 comments. Practice what you preach.

  CWuestefeld is correct to ask for some source. Anyone can claim anything on the internet. It's not some fake academic interest. And you're clearly conflating a user's karma with how many comments they have. Cite your source (did you see it first hand? If so say that) or you're just spewing BS even if there's some truth to it.

    He is not correct. No one needs citations to voice a commonly shared perspective or experience on an internet forum, get real. My bad, he only has 3,300 comments. That definitely makes things so much better! The only BS here are comments, like yours and his, not even remotely attempting to add anything useful to the conversation and attempting to pretend to have some higher standard while not even being able to adhere to it yourselves. Hypocritical and uselessness in the same breath.

      Could I offer my unofficial adjudication to the proceedings, as several points of procedure are being overlooked. Thou shalt not disparage the overpaid, and underworked.
