- abraae 10y agoPeople are humans and human nature nearly always leads to political behaviour (i.e. behaviour not optimal for the organization as a whole) in any organization of more than a few people. Pressed on all sides, dealing with unreasonable demands from above, and with internal competitors and naysayers to fight off, even the most enlightened manager may sometimes behave in ways that treat people as easily replaceable. Even if intellectually they know they aren't.
