The writing is hard to engage with—possibly trying to be funny, but it comes off as overly antagonistic. Phrases like “—presumably in a conference room with aggressively modern furniture—” feel distracting and undermine the point.

I agree. I enjoy off the wall and humorous writing usually. This article is pretty bad. Somehow it made me want to like the subject they were trying to eviscerate. I wouldn't want to be too harsh though; at least they did write something! Perhaps I'll read another article by this same person in the future and find they've improved their tone.
