Not sure if that file is a real one, but here's a real declassified field guide on sabotage written by the CIA during WW2 and distributed to resistance members in Nazi occupied France. (Fun note: the guide suggests a simple way to sabotage productivity in a work environment is to have lots of useless meetings)

Nobody wants to admit they are the problem, so they go right back to wasting time and money.
