Scripted Management
For a long time, all of us in the business community or perhaps touched and otherwise inappropriately handled by it, have known that managerial and worker relations have never found a balance. They probably never will. I believe the problem has to do with those high rollers distancing themselves too much from their flock, making decisions without quite knowing the impact of their actions. The employees don't like being mistreated and higher-ups don't want to hear about it, which means everyone suffers. Well I propose a solution to this problem which will sever this social engagement: the employee API.
If you thought looking at Gantt charts and budgets was cool, wait till you have work flow accomplished just with the work() method, allowing you to supply an optional time parameter expressed as work( hour hours_ ) for the day to day as well as work( day day_start, day day_end ) to express continuous ranges of days when those deadlines have to be met. Having problems with workers? Let's turn to nature for the solution. Did you know that male worker bees die after a run of a few short days? I don't know if it's because they didn't work hard for the honey, but it's quite possible that they were just 'replaced' for efficiency reasons. You can do the same; ever hear of pop() and push()? Yep, it's that easy. Your HR staff has a Queue of applicants waiting to get hired, since the economy 's rather down.
I truly didn't have the well-being of too many people in mind. Too many is too many. But after a good day's work, you do deserve some respect for writing and running your worker script. The fact that you don't have to know anyone's name in our method doesn't stop the work force from being forced to work up a party for you. Everyone is assigned a number from 0 to num_employees -1 and the range-based get_appreciation( employee 0, employee num_employees -1 ) will get everyone to celebrate on your behalf.
You may be wondering how all this works? Why would "you are allowed to use the bathroom today" incentive plans inspire those minds you ask? Well love is a complicated problem, but if you've seen the movie Perfume, you'll understand how it's done.

Excerpt from Elridge Cleaver's Soul on Ice, 1968:
"The police do on the domestic level what the armed forces do on the international level: protect the way of life for those in power. The police patrol the city, cordon off communities, blockade neighborhoods, invade homes, search for that which is hidden. The armed forces patrol the world, invade countries and continents, cordon off nations, blockade islands and whole peoples; they will also overrun villages, neighborhoods, enter homes, huts, caves, searching for that which is hidden. The policeman and the soldier will violate your person, smoke you out with various gases. Each will shoot you, beat your head and body with sticks and clubs, with rifle butts, run you through with bayonets, shoot holes in your flesh, kill you. They each have unlimited firepower. They will use all that is necessary to bring you to your knees. They won't take no for an answer. If you resist their sticks, they draw their guns. If you resist their guns, they call for reinforcements with bigger guns. Eventually they will come in tanks, in jets, in ships. They will not rest until you surrender or are killed. The policeman and the soldier will have the last word.
"Both police and the armed forces follow orders. Orders. Orders flow from the top down. Up there, behind closed doors, in antechambers, in conference rooms, gavels bang on the tables, the thinking of silver decanters can be heard as ice-water is poured by well-fed, conservatively dressed men in horn-rimmed glasses, fashionably dressed American widows with rejuvenated faces and tinted hair, the air permeated with the square humor of Bob Hope jokes. Here all the talking is done, all the thinking, all the deciding. Gray rabbits of men scurry forth from the conference room to spread the decisions through the city, as News. Carrying out orders is a job, a way of meeting the payments on the house, a way of providing for one's kiddies. In the armed forces it is also a duty, patriotism. Not to do so is treason" ( p157).
It sounds crazy, but is there something wrong with the chain of command? We're probably all destined for this, because no one is really at the top. There's always peer pressure and intimidation at some point and if all else fails, there's overthrow.
