I’ve covered 3 levels of dark mangers — The best ones, the typical ones and the worst ones. I’ve been exploring how dark management can work on various levels on a neutral perspective as well as theirs. So now let’s do the same on the perspective of the dark management targets.

The Best Dark Management

The mental states of targets experiencing the best dark management are usually dominated by extensive and intensive passion followed by a well-controlled and healthy amount of eustress. Being enlightened(Read: Brainwashed) by the best dark managers, they’re extremely energetic and optimistic when it comes to sacrificing themselves for those dark managers. They feel exceptionally honorable to be anonymous martyrs as they’ve an unbelievably deep sense of mission. The visions of those mark managers(Read: Those maximizing their self interest) are the purposes of their lives. They strongly feel that they can achieve self-actualization by realizing the dreams of those mark managers(Read: Maximizing their self interest). They feel completely and eternally redeemed by those dark managers. They never ask what those dark managers can do for them but always ask what they can do for those dark managers. They determinedly devote to maximize their values thorough their lives by maximizing those dark managers’ self interest.

As they’re so invisibly and thoroughly manipulated by those dark managers, they rarely feel being exploited at all as they’re truly altruistic and satisfied. They treat pain and suffering caused by those dark managers as necessary and rewarding challenges to be overcome in their lives, and they perceive failure and loss setup by those dark managers as essential ingredients for personal growth. They never ever question anything about those dark managers as they’re very confident in their belief system and cognition that are all seamlessly and silently reprogrammed by those dark managers. Instead, they treat those dark managers as legendary heroes/heroines.

The Typical Dark Management

The mental states of targets experiencing the typical dark management are usually full of FOG(Read Dark Managers Keeps Targets Under The FOG for details). They know the situation’s just plain wrong but they sincerely think that it’s entirely their fault instead of those dark managers. They can’t think clearly as their judgments are clouded by a strong sense of fear, obligation and guilt. They can’t control these emotions as those emotions are controlling them instead. They’ve an unhealthy amount of duress but also feel too trapped to escape the toxic workplaces. They keeping trying hard to be loyal to those dark managers but also keep blaming themselves for failing those dark managers. They feel being exploited deep down but just don’t know who are pushing their buttons. Their anger is secretly accumulating to dangerous levels.

They’re suffering from serious cognitive dissonance as they’ve tried their best but have always led to endless death marches. They can only resolve such conflicts by working for those dark managers even harder. Eventually they’ll be completely used up and face mental breakdown.

The Stupidest Dark Management

Assuming the stupidest dark managers have too much abusable power to be ever stopped, the mental states of targets experiencing the stupidest dark management are filled with critical amount of extreme anger and fear. They’re incredibly angry towards those blatantly oppressive and predatory marauders who uses obvious lies and spins to rationalize their indefensible and overt psychopathy and tyranny. But they also fear those dark managers as their thinking have no directions nor limits and their actions conform to no rules nor boundaries. Those exceptionally unstable dark managers randomly dominate random targets randomly. That’s what they fear the most — Purely destructive and random insanity that are totally inescapable and unstoppable.

If this continues, those targets will inevitably begin to lose control of themselves as they’ve no way to vent their ever increasing anger or fear. They feel like cornered by those dark managers and having to do something desperate to have a remote chance to even survive the torture. Eventually, they’ll feel that they’ve already lost everything so they’ve become the worst they can be, meaning that there’s nothing more to lose so they won’t be afraid for anyone or anything anymore. Then it’d only be “natural” for them to try to perish together with those dark managers as a means of “deserved vengeance”. If those dark managers are powerful enough, those targets will be brutally obliterated, otherwise those dark managers will fall violently too.

Actually, there’s 1 missing piece — The mental states of targets having their characters assassinated by the best dark managers. Their experiences are much, much worse than death:

  1. As these dark managers only hit the weakest spots of their targets on their most vulnerable moments, those dark managers will only attack those targets when that leads to people feeling betrayed by those targets in the worst ways possible.
  2. As the real damage of character assassination comes from being unfairly betrayed by everyone around followed by losing more and more invaluable things in lives without being able to do anything, the best friends of those targets need to become their worst enemies(by covertly manipulating them without leaving a trace) to ensure that those targets will experience the worst mental and physical torture ever. Those tortures need to remove their ability to commit suicide so they’ll have absolutely no way out forever.

Nevertheless, the best dark managers will only use this secret super weapon when it’s the optimal choice to maximize their self-interest. As the reason for them to use it is to remove targets getting in their way rather than watching them suffer, those targets can either prepare to fight or proactively get out of the ways from those dark managers. Basically, only targets having excellent credibility and reputation need to have their characters assassinated for those dark managers, as the images of those targets must be killed first before killing them to ensure they won’t become martyrs that would never be able to be get rid of by those dark managers. After all, the best dark managers aren’t sadistic even though their character assassination tactics are some of the most sadistic ones ever. They just want to always maximize their self-interest.
