Declassified CIA Guide to Sabotaging Fascism Is Suddenly Viral
Declassified CIA Guide to Sabotaging Fascism Is Suddenly Viral
The World War II-era "Simple Sabotage Field Manual" is full of steps that office workers can take to resist leadership.
Over the last week, the guide has surged to become the 5th-most-accessed book on Project Gutenberg, an open source repository of free and public domain ebooks. It is also the fifth most popular ebook on the site over the last 30 days, having been accessed nearly 60,000 times over the last month (just behind Romeo and Juliet).

You're viewing a single thread.
Remember when reading this that it was written for a time long past. There are cameras and other electronic tracking everywhere now. Even if you can avoid detection, much of the methodology described here just doesn't apply to modern machines, telecommunications, and other systems.
But read it all anyway. (It's not that long.) The mindset you will need to employ is plainly communicated and remains valid today. Be observant, be creative, be careful, and !resist@fedia.io.

You jest, but you're not wrong.
Pushing to "improve processes and efficiency" for as many people as possible, where that requires changes to what people do - and especially changes to the applications they use - means a whole lot of retraining and mistakes. Office workers are hardly different than factory line workers. They do the same thing over and over every day, and if anything changes, they're flummoxed.
This also serves to reveal more clearly which workers are more and less adaptable, so that you can focus any of your efforts. Either get more in the way of the more productive people, or take advantage of less productive people to effect a larger error.
Edit: And if your "improved processes" are complicated enough, this gives other people who want to resist more opportunities to employ malicious compliance.
Not for a moment did I believe the comment was made in jest
