Never heard this refrain before! What does it mean? No one wants to get on leadership's bad side?
- lolinder 5y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belling_the_Cat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belling_the_Cat > Belling the Cat is a fable ... In the story, a group of mice agree to attach a bell to a cat's neck to warn of its approach in the future, but they fail to find a volunteer to perform the job. The term has become an idiom describing a group agreeing to perform an impossibly difficult task.
