Who is the 'you' in this case? The original author? The person who submitted it? The people who upvoted it? You have to give us something to work with here :-).

Research done while watching peoples brains at work is always interesting even if the veracity of the brain scan technique is dubious.

It is always interesting to ask people how they like to be managed, when you aren't their manager, because one presumes they give more honest answers.

Assuming the GP was trying to make a joke, it is is also helpful when giving criticism to have it be for something specific and actionable (which isn't the case for that post.)

Or maybe they're just adeptly managing you?

You is whoever you imagine it to be. Why do I have to give you anything to go off of?
