Theory #4: Appeasement is an atrocity.
This person comes into my work today. He asks for a chocolate cone with chocolate sprinkles. My boss gives him one. But he looks shocked and says "Oh, I wanted vanilla". Oh.
My manager appeases him. Throws the perfectly good cone away, gets him a new one. Afterwards, he laments about how much he dislikes his job sometimes. You see, appeasement isn't fun.
Yet, we're all obligated. An endless cycle of appeasement exists in the world. But what we feel isn't always real. [theory 4.1- What we feel isn't always real.] What we feel towards obligation is what we perceive. If my manager would have loved to tell the guy to just fuck off. He should have told the guy to fuck off. But we're obligated by these stupid societal expectations.
That we walk in line. That we appease those who are in a better position than us. [theory 4.2- You don't know where you are until your at the bottom, serving everyone.] [theory 4.3- no one knows where they are.]
That we don't ask questions. That we accept things the way they are. That those who are unfortunate have to make those higher on the totem happy. But this shouldn't be the case. Happiness isn't for the rich. For the bosses. For the CEOs and corporate big wigs. For oil traders.
For all.
Support the strikers.
