Don't follow his advice on how to push back (mock and/or ask innocent sounding "dumb" questions) unless you can afford to be unemployed for at least a couple years. If you mock you'll get fired, and if you "play dumb" enough people will get wise to what you're doing and put you on the "known troublemakers" list that gets you swept up in the next layoff. Worst case, someone records what you're saying/doing and puts in on twitter; and not only do you get fired you also become unemployable in your industry.
Academics really don't understand modern corporate HR practices and how insulated they are from them.
Precisely why I nuked all my accounts and started fresh, it's so refreshing to be able to make fun of those chucklefucks without caring about them trying to trace it back to something IRL.
