The Gestapo arm of (inept) corporate middle management.
They enforce the law of the large corporate
ladder in that you must not unintentionally threaten the job of anyone above you by outperforming them through hard
work to deliver positive results for the organisation even if that hard
work is necessitated by their ineptitude.
You must earn them their promotion first in order to "build relationships" so that they do not turn the corporate Gestapo onto you for investigation into your behaviour (a witch hunt in which you are accused) where the outcome is that your bridge will ultimately be burned and the inept corporate middle
manager will not be found out until after your bridge has been
burnt and they have staved of their eventual sacking from the hard
work you have done in order to ensure positive outcomes for the organisation.
Employee: Holy Shit! This situation has led the organisation to be in a position where it cannot deliver to expectations.
Manager: Get it
done Richard!
Employee: Right on it Sir/Madam. You can count on me.
Manager: Thanks Richard! Human Resources,
please investigate Richard the nigger for not being in line with the mission and values of the organisation.
Corporate Gestapo: Ya Voll, Herr Middle Manager. You can count on us - we know the law and we are the law. We will performance manage this mofo because we are professionals.
