I don't understand your strong negative reaction to this. The way I read it, it is pretty much a (very) dry humor piece in which anyone who has been working in software development for any amount of time is likely to recognize most of the points listed as being real things that happen (but hopefully not too many at the same job).
I'd get it if the piece were "21 Ways to Minimize Employee Retention, like my former manager John Q. Smith did at CompanyCo", but as just a list of silly shit management does, I don't know why you'd have a "no hire" level problem with it.
