I laughed

maybe I'm missing a layer of sarcasm or two but that's the joke

That's exactly the point, and it won't get better anytime soon.

It's a common joke in situations like this. The form I'm familiar with is "the beatings will continue until morale improves". The saying is used to call out self-defeating treatment of a company's employees: that beatings hurt rather than help morale is the point.

It's a riff on the old joke, 'the beatings will continue until morale improves.' It suggests that the problems are caused by poor management practices and has no deeper meaning.

“[some harmful shit] will continue until morale improves” is a meme.

it's A play on beatings will continue until morale improves. I'm pretty sure nobody likes beatings either.
