Coal does not turn into diamonds under pressure.

Turning coal into diamonds was a favorite way to justify pressure at my last company. We are making you better by making you do two jobs for the same salary. We are grooming you for bigger and better things someday. Turns out that coal stays coal no matter how much pressure it's under and artists stay artists even when they work at crappy companies. The only diamonds were on my manager's watch from the bonus he got for money saving staff cuts.
