Company management has a talent to manage, whom they deem to be malevolent malcontents, off the property via the line check, LPC, or excessive number of demerits, to name a few.
There is an abundant supply of gnomes, you know the little brown nosers, who will do the company’s bidding.
These little gnomes provide a buffer between the targeted employee and management, thus protecting those miscreants in their ivory towers.
As the old saying goes… same airline different paint job.
