The insights the author makes are genuine, but the approach she has is grating. She assumes she has privileged access to objectively view the social reality. She mentions "real", "realize", and "reality" eleven times in the piece.

Sociologists have a name for this behavior - reification. It's essentially a map-territory mistake between people's mental model of how the world works and the reality. They confuse their mental model for reality and work toward progressing it as truth.

In this context, she's essentially leveraging her power as manager to get folks to agree to her reality. This is definitionally manipulative. I'd hate to have her as a manager. She probably isn't aware she's doing it.
