OMG! That is fantastic! You have nailed the technique of "non-threatening communication" perfectly. Perfectly.
In my past life as a middle-management Nazgûl, I spent a goodly amount of time in management training to learn to communicate to my minions direct reports Just. As. You. Have. Written. So it's funny 'cos it's true, including the hot poker part. Our vice-Saurons managed to find some way of tormenting us directors, which likewise were cascaded to our minions, er, direct reports. Yeah!
However, I do have a criticism. Sauron needed a white board with Post-It notes based on Gollum's natterings for brainstorming. ;^)
