That's not even the most awful part about this absurd workplace ideological fantasy of Jack Ma's.

It's that your wife, girlfriend, whatever is in essence yet another co-worker operating yet another employment situation who requires you to put in yet more hours after Jack Ma's done whatever he can to pull the best ones from you.

Put the messages back into their original context: this is all a form of North American business pop-culture optimism with Chinese characteristics.

But I disagree about this idea of not being able to engage in intercourse …

Someone inevitably is going to consider the benefits and perquisites associated with an extended game of Fuck The Company, which is a sort of elevator ride but with Slim Pickens riding the elevator down hard to the bottom.

Oh, look, the critical enterprise has truly gone critical there at the end!

Jack Ma's strategy is to pump as much short-term value out of his company until he can sell it off to a sucker who will eat the eventual losses. Rinse and repeat, and this is a copycat league. It's parasite behavior, and will continue until the host dies. The host is both the company and the country.

Why? To quote Alec Baldwin: "fuck you, that's why." The incentives put in place by the Boomer yuppies still work, so the sociopaths outlined in the Gervais Principle will ride that train until it falls off the rails. After all, it's your fault you didn't do what they did. What, you're not as smart as Jack Ma?
