Let me give you a more correct perspective.
So, Imagine that the company you work for held a poll, and asked everyone if they thought it would be a good idea to put a soda machine in the break room. The poll came back, and the majority of your colleagues said "Yes", indicating that they would like a soda machine. Some said no, but the majority said yes.
So, a week later, there's a soda machine. Now imagine that the soda machine is far more expensive than you were told, and it carries none of the beverages anyone else likes. On top of that, management has a private, much cheaper soda machine with all the sodas they like in a room none of the other employees are "allowed" to access.
Imagine that some guy named bill got angry about this, while everyone else was too apathetic or brainwashed to actually make a big deal out of it. After bill campaigns a bit, he manages to wake some people up around the office, and they realize that they don't have to me lied to. Well, management decides "OK, we'll ask again" while apologizing and promising to change the selection of sodas and lower the price. Additionally they cause scenes at work, distracting people from becoming impassioned about the gyp of the soda machine. And again, the majority of people say "Yes, lets keep the soda machine."
Bill continues to campaign, and management continues to ask the employees, and every time, the answer is in favor of the soda machine.
This happens, lets say... 35 times.
Eventually, Bill says "OK, I'M NOT PROCESSING PAYROLL ANYMORE UNTIL THE SODA MACHINE IS REMOVED OR REPLACED BY A MORE REASONABLE ONE", so nobody will get paid unless management removes the machine. What should we do???
Answer: Fire Bill AND MANAGEMENT and get someone who will do the f***ing job.
Bonus: Bill tells everyone that he was willing to "Negotiate", to come to a solution where everyone got their payroll checks, but only so long as that negotiation capitulated to a solution that wasn't a drain on everyone's wallet. Namely, management keeping the promises they made to begin with.
Bill is a f***ing jackass. And so is management. And so are the majority of the employees. Anyone who blames only one of these groups is a fucking brainwashed moron.
Yeah. Bonus bonus, one of those memes you hate so much, Possum.
