[QUOTE="Sejs, post: 3125240, member: 4910"] *nod* The natural reaction to being pushed is to resist, whereas one has a greater inclination to participate in a setting where they can identify themselves as being a valued part of. Deals with issues of respect and ownership. 'We' versus 'them and you', that sort of thing. That's actually part of the issue. The underlying idea that your employer [i]owns[/i] you. They don't own you. They are paying you to assist them in the operation of whatever it is they do. It's supposed to be a mutual relationship, equal on both sides. However, then we get down to issues of dominance perception, and a primitive part of our brain kicks in because it sees the employer as huge and unfathomable and in control, so [i]obviously[/i] it's dominant, and we're just hangers-on, keeping our heads low and occasionally getting scraps from the kill. We're entourage. We're property. [/QUOTE]
