Comment on What kind of institutional gaslighting is this?

If I see someone eating the same meal every day I will come to the conclusion that they’re either unable or unwilling to cook something else so I won’t ask them to cook me something else.

See? There’s that slave mentality again
“Master won’t like you unless you work harder!”

If you don’t have any initiative don’t be surprised if you never achieve anything in life.

That mentality only works if you believe your job is the only way you can achieve anything in life.

No matter where you want to achieve something, you have to show initiative for it to happen.
Right now we’re talking about work and they say they won’t work harder for advancement? Then they won’t get advancement.
If we were on a DIY and we were talking about building a fence and they were saying “I won’t take time from my day to make it.” my reaction would be the same, show some initiative or don’t complain if shit doesn’t happen.
People can complain about nepotism and jobs not going to those who deserve it, but they can’t complain about jobs also going to those who decide to put in the work while they’re doing the bare minimum.

I have initiative, I just don’t waste it on wannabe kings
