[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4924696, member: 63706"] My main objection is that we are being conditioned to accept more and more unacceptable treatment, simply because we want to make enough to raise our families and have a hobby or two. The people who simply accept this as the natural way, and don't stand up to it are exhibiting learned helplessness behavior. The way psychologists discovered learned helplessness is by placing animals on a steel plate inside a closed room. They would run an electric current through the plate and then turn it off when the animal exhibited a certain behavior. Then they decided to see what the animal would do if they never turned the current off. After a while of frantically trying anything to get off the floor, the animal would eventually lie down and take the electrocution, having come to the conclusion that it can do nothing to stop it. Moral 1: research psychologists are actually psychotic sadists. Moral 2: management is no different than research psychologists. [/QUOTE]
