Like the Medieval kings of yore who would frequently torture their subjects into submission, you are the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, and your mission is to make your employees conform to the company culture and pledge loyalty to you, their boss. You run a ruthless enterprise and expect nothing but perfection from your minions, who toil in the main room while you kick your feet up on the desk in your corner office. Legends and tales of your benevolent cruelty are waxed over in the happy hour bars around the business district. You are envied. You are feared!
Today, your employees are more frightened of your whims than ever before, because it’s DOWNSIZING TIME! You will spend the workday laying off lazy staffers, firing disloyal moochers, and replacing tenured executives with fresh-faced recruits eager to work for less money. This is your favorite thing to do as CEO, and as such, we’ve developed an algorithm to determine which medieval torture device you are!
Your termination techniques demonstrate a kinship with the arcane torture tools of the past. Which one are you? Like the court jester, we are simply joking around, but go ahead and take this quiz! Don’t forget to share your results and tag a pal you’d like to interrogate…
