2. A manager's perspective is nearly always unrealistic.
- The profile of a modern manager is someone who is underpaid, overworked, paid only a little bit more than you are and is internally promoted to save the company money.
- Some employees would rather stay in their current position and earn overtime rather than be promoted to a more senior position.
- A manager's perspective keeps changing and this is detrimental to a business model.
- Managers often work longer hours and often more than necessary. This causes fatigue and leads to poor decision making.

perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains."

"On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish.

3. Managers transmit stress onto employees.
- Most of the time stress at work could be avoided.
- Stress is due to inadequate training.
- Stress is the result of having poor soft skills.
- Stress is the product of improper search and selection skills from the HR department who fail to profile the right candidate for the right position.
4. We are all sheep; employees prefer to be the same, not to stand out.
- Nobody likes a colleague who has a close relationship with management.
- Employees feel more comfortable in an environment where everybody is equal compared to one that has a definitive corporate structure.
- If you have a great relationship with a manager, other members of your team don't trust you.
- If you step outside the comfort zone of your team and build a closer relationship with a manager, you can never return to the way things were.
