Even if they memorize these rules by heart it doesn't change the fact that many companies are setup to marginalize workers to be easily replaceable. Chances are your opinions really don't matter at all. I've worked with enough people who take this approach to realize it ends up being insulting more than anything else. I actually prefer a realistic employer/employee relationship instead of making a whole act out of being a "good manager" which changes absolutely nothing in the end. Chances are the "good manager" has their hands tied from above. Don't get me wrong -- there's value to having a pleasant constructive relationship but this management style tends to lead to a lot of bad two-faced exchanges and wastes a lot of time in my experience.
