Monkey Business Management Secret #15

First, I need to quote to you some *legitimate* management advice:
“Hire the best. Pay them fairly. Communicate freely. Provide challenges
and rewards. Get out of their way. They’ll knock your socks off.”
~ Mary Ann Allison
Next, let me tell you how to turn that into a Monkey Business Management Secret (tm).
"Hire the next person that comes along. Keep them in the dark. Give them impossible tasks. Punish them for failing. Micromanage their every move, and stay in their way. Then they'll give you what you pay for -- mediocrity."
~ Monkey Business Manager
