A small excerpt:

When we’re micromanaged, when we’re told every detail of performing every task we do, when we’re presented with worthless qualifications that don’t enhance our ability to contribute, when every bit of decision making and control is taken away from us, when we’re asked to demonstrate personal initiative but told to adhere to a strict monitoring system and timeline – that’s when you keep the people who want easy and push the people who want knowledge and a challenge right out the door.
