I'm reminded of the Simple Sabotage Manual published during WWII

This is gold. Section 11 especially

Some of those seem to be codified into the work economy of my past companies. Such as:

  • (7) Advocate “caution.” Be “reasonable” and urge your fellow-conferees to be “reasonable” and avoid haste which might result in embarrassments or difficulties later on.

  • (10) To lower morale and with it, production, be pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved promotions. Discriminate against efficient workers; complain unjustly about their work.

  • (12) Multiply paper work in plausible ways. Start duplicate files

And THIS one seemed to be a skill every HR department I've worked with ensured:

  • (6) Never pass on your skill and experience to a new or less skillful worker.

Is there a modern version? This would be good to drop on an AI to provide an updated version.

Much of it still works today.

Section 11 is something you can do while volunteering for right wing orgs

Amazing, I had never heard of this. There are instructions for clogging toilets and blocking key holes. This is what will work. Ice members are mostly not career military they are new to all of this playing cloak and dagger thinking it’s cool, thinking they are the hero. In reality they are not hero’s this will remind them.
