The world isn't black and white and not all managers are assholes and employees never divide neatly down "yes" and "no" lines and any manager worth their salt knows this.
And the secret of success doesn't lie with saying "yes" or "no" or making the team think a certain way, the secret of success lies with finding a way for the team to say yes to the right ideas and no to the wrong ones and kick ass in the process.
If you work with or for people that think as half as shallow as the people described in the OP, run - don't blog about it, run.
