The highlight of this article are the video transcripts. -1 is the kind of repugnant bureaucrat fostering many modern work environments… but the article feels like it's vastly underestimating the agency of the people who foster such work environments.
The anomalous effects don't feel like they gel with the anomaly in question: if you're going to crush HR's spirit, how could you trust them to do the same to their employees? If anything, the anomaly sets HR up as a bunch of doormats, too weak-willed to properly break the rank-and-file into line. It doesn't matter if you set the temperature for 95F or 40F, the interviewee's poised to walk all over you.
I'm also not too fond of the formatting. Walling off the description/discovery from the conprocs made it read like a footnote to said conprocs; as for the actual footnotes, 1 and 3 feel unnecessary. The three two-line paragraphs in a row (on my end at least) in the description also felt weirdly paced, almost staccato.
