I haven’t seen this before and I can’t verify with the link to the actual field manual because it’s a 404. Does anyone have a PDF of the actual manual handy? (Edit: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Simple_Sabotage_Field_Manual/... Scroll to section (11a).)
The article seems to suggest that these things were lifted from the actual manual. Perhaps they cherry-picked these over things that are more relevant to commercial office work, but I would suspect instead that the statements which were excluded are less relevant.
If that’s the case, these are hardly things simply which the author dislikes. In the author’s own words: “If you are like me, many of these things sound surprisingly familiar.”
Perhaps the other methods as suggested by this comment’s parent are less effective (as an intentional means of sabotage) and so were excluded. It still seems worth it to be aware of these things and especially to look for them being perpetrated in bad faith.
