I genuinely feel bad for folks who actually believe stuff like this, because it must make the world a dark and sad place to be in.
The world can be a dark and sad place to be in, and stuff like this is accurate more often than not, even if this is slightly satirical.
But realizing that and accepting it for what it is can be liberating.

You have complete control over whether or not it is dark and sad in this particular way, which is why I feel bad for people who think otherwise.
All organizations are perfectly pathological, their hierarchy being divided up between sociopaths (management), clueless (middle-management) and losers (everyone else). Sociopaths, in their own best interests, knowingly promote over-performing losers into middle-management, groom under-performing losers into sociopaths, and leave the average bare-minimum-effort losers to fend for themselves.
