The slide deck looks like a persiflage to me. Something I would expect to see in a movie [1].
Are employees in the US really such ducklings that they swallow such insult and paternalism?
If I would be a manager at Meetup and would be shown a bunch of bullshit bingo slides about how my current approach is shit and that I am supposed to become better at my job by 'pushing to achieve more' my reaction would be clear.
I would say 'Dude, I have built and refined my management approach over many years. It's based on these key values. And these metrics. Held together by the following theory. And I have a lot to show for it. I achieved this and this and this and this last year. Tell me again with a straight face how this is not exceptional performance. And now take your pile of cliches and fuck off.'.
