  Using war metaphors

  What do you mean?

  Requering acceptance of any task

  You would quit if something were against your morals e.g working on a project for Exxon mobile or something ?

    War metaphors real examples:

    Literally calling your employees your soldiers, calling starting positions as trenches, brainwashing your employees to a us versus the world mentality, ex-employees are ‘dead’ or ‘on a suicidal path’, etc.

    Business is not war anyone who think it is has never saw what a single rifle bullet does to human flesh. Freaking psychos.

    Task was being discussed, I raised valid concerns, they listened, agreed to the concerns and said ‘yeah we still want you to do it’. I say I won’t do this. They push harder. I left on the spot. Notice was on director desk the next day. I suspect management wanted me to take on a botched task so to have something negative over me. There may of may not have some level of nepotism there.

      Big yikes on the war metaphors. I’m also not a fan of alternative names for teams: squad, tribe, gang, clan, … makes me cringe.

      I suspect management wanted me to take on a botched task so to have something negative over me.

      Sounds like somebody with a god complex or way too deep in the army role-play “soldiers follow orders” bullshit.
