This should be ranking higher. This is one of the most disturbing things I've seen on the internet, in that it showcases the complete lack of empathy the "gamers" have for these two, actual real life human beings. It's t

Wait, there are 63 or more levels of management at salesforce? Is the a level 1? Is there anything higher than 63? What's the distinction between a 61 and a 62?! Sounds more like Futurama's bureaucracy skit.

Can anyone explain if the game theory behind this is sound? because that sounds like a pretty ridiculous "business model". Does the price ever stop increasing or go down? Is this meant to be a temporary operation?
