There is an important aspect of how we interact with each other in the work place and this is indicative of a poisonous anti-human agenda to control those interactions.
Unfortunately I didn't really start it off too well and apology for being somewhat inflammatory.

I agree with the first half of your first sentence. But 'poisonous anti-human agenda' — I mean I'm no corporatist but that already starts to sound a bit like internet projection to me. We don't really know as much as it feels like we know about these situations when very-partial stories make it online. We're all filling in a lot of details from imagination, based on our own past experiences, without realizing we're doing that (which is what I mean by projection). In my experience, more thoughtful online conversation starts with slowing that mental process down and unpacking it a bit. I've described this in terms of 'reflexive' vs. 'reflective' in the past - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor.... Anyhow, you needn't agree—these are just some thoughts that came up when I realized I had a bifurcated response to your first sentence.
As for the second sentence: appreciated!
