From the episode:
It resembles treatment, due to the fact that I have actually operated in a number of workplaces, however simply the absurdity of [being expected] to invest all that time every day with individuals that you most likely would pass by to be with, and you can’t even state what you truly believe at any point either, unless you’re not stressed over being fired. That was truly what I desired to do with this book: all the things that we’re not expected to state in respectful business, I attempted to utilize that as my directing principles for each of the memos.
