How to get ever-more loyal employees

Keep increasing the level of difficulty of your technical interviews, pay not attention to the actual effectiveness in choosing good employees. The sort of person desperate, mad, unthinking enough to spend months and weeks and years grinding away their personal time to prepare for your bullshit questions, for the glorious honour of working for your lordship, will also be the kind of person who does not question sketchy decisions, they will be afraid to speak out when you're doing legally grey things, they will not complain a lot when they're asked to do very uncomfortable things. Because they've worked so hard to get here, they deserve it. This is the price you pay for success. This is what everybody does when they get up high. That's the sort of justification they'll come with. You know however that the sort of moron who'll grind, who'll treat this as an honor, does not have the sort of intelligence or courage to question, anything. The great thing about all of this is, when push comes to shove, it is these total ignoramusi who you'll push under the bus, as you escape any sort of consequence for your actions and they get hauled away to the clink. This is victory. You have won. While convincing the losers that victory is theirs.
