Who Moved My Cheese? is a 96-page corporate parable that reduces layoffs and economic displacement to a failure to "adapt." Handed to employees during downsizing, its central metaphor—mice navigating a maze—ignores systemic injustices that no amount of flexibility can fix. This trivialization is even more insulting than #1's victim-blaming, costing businesses $17 billion annually in wasted training time, according to a 2019 workforce analysis.
