The art of demotivating employeees and sabotaging your company

At a time when (almost) no-one wants to work any more, the company manager has the formidable task, because he or she has to for some time yet, of pushing employees to work. So it's understandable that some of them are depressed and looking to hand over the reins. But getting rid of a company is not as simple as it seems (the very high number of business closures is misleading in this respect). There are still a few die-hards who are still motivated by work. Of course, there's the remuneration, but that's not all.

These days, despite everything that's been done to encourage leisure and constant consumption, there are still a multitude of little secret motivators.
Here is a series of recipes for breaking down these little springs one by one, and scuttling your company in a matter of weeks, or even days for the most skillful. And, at the end of the day, the just reward for all this patient cicada work: to disgust everyone and take a well-deserved vacation.
