Lie through your teeth, but not so much people quit?
cool leadership bro
Also, it's funny the section is called "Let them know you’re still on their side" when the actual advice is to show your staff how much of a snake you are and hope they're stupid.

I didn't get this message from the blog post at all. Let me summarize for you: In public toe the company line, if you don't, you will be fired. In private, be honest about your opinions so your team knows you are on their side and understand their plight (and most likely you suffer from the bad leadership as well). Protect the team from bad consequences by not being zealous about the new order.

This person is not on the side of the team. This person is simply supporting that policy. There is no "protecting the team from consequences" if what you do is enforcing new other, just in a sane way.
Well, ok, it is that persons job, but it is not true they are on the "side of the team".
This is the key. If they don't do it, it's not their job anymore. The team won't just revolt in unison, but the lead will be replaced with someone more complacent. The only option is to comply, but let the team know in private that you don't like the new vibes.
