n this episode of The Skillful Art of Manipulation, the thin line between professional competence and moral complicity vanishes within the pressurized glass walls of a high-stakes corporate office. When an executive enabler is tasked with "managing the fallout" of a superior’s predatory behavior, she discovers that fixing problems quietly doesn't just protect the firm—it transfers the weight of the transgression onto the fixer.
