> The cult-like part was the CEO fancying himself some Steve Jobs type, doing two-hour long presentations on random topics like his favourite economic ideas, or presenting a treatise against post-modernism. I of course knew which youtube videos he was plagiarising.

Amazing. So ”Michael Scott from The Office”-type people really exist out there.

To stay on "The Office" universe, that specific CEO was more of a Robert California.

A bit creepy, intimidating, but still able to impress gullible people. He invited employers he thought were "winners" for diners (although the term the company used was "champions"). Instead of being fascinated by Sesame Street he was fascinated by DC Comics, though. I'm actually surprised at how fitting the comparison is.

All without the James Spader charm, of course.

EDIT: In person, however he was a great guy. I just don't think he behaved in a proper way as CEO.

Oh yes. I can't even watch The Office because it's too real.
