Sometimes, to raise morale, you just have to fire all the unhappy people.
That strategy works best when the firings cause previously happy people to become unhappy.
I never thought of Dwarf Fortress as management training before, though I probably should have.

It's true. Unhappy people can poison a culture and be a drag on everyone. The big question is whether they're unhappy because they're just unhappy people in general, or if they're unhappy because the company truly sucks.
You probably have to assume the former because if it's the latter you're probably not in a position to do anything about it anyway.
