Great read on a subject that I don't know much about.
For someone interested in how large corporations function and the power dynamics among the top, do any of you folks have any other recommended reading?
You've posted quite a few unsubstantive and/or uncivil comments. We ban accounts that do that, so would you please (re-)read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and clean up your act?
It's true that that phrase is a bit harsher than what we usually post. I use it in a somewhat precise situation: when an account's comment history shows that they've been breaking the rules habitually. That's a worse situation than a one-time offence and seems to merit a stronger tone. Also, I've noticed that some people don't get the message unless the volume is turned up that way. It's hard to predict whether a user is that sort, or someone who would respond better to a softer touch. I presume you would be the latter.
