I think the "sabotage" techniques suggested by the author actually benefit companies whose main product is built by intellectual labor. Companies care a great deal about controlling workers: to get them in line, to squeeze labor from them, to weed out motivated folks whose interests don't align with profit, to shut down rabble-rousers, etc. Since the dawn of work, workers have resisted working, and Agile, etc. are just the new strategies management use to control this new group of creative workers.

I wish the author had addressed worker sabotage too. More on that here: http://thenewinquiry.com/essays/manual-override/
