if your employer’s new employee morale drive involves welfare elicitation interviews where, in circumstances of dubious consent, they strap you into the emotion-vector reading mindprobe, because they can’t fully trust that you’re not lying when you tell them they are a fantastic boss and a joy to work for… then something has gone wrong, and it’s getting wronger over time.
