[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I once heard a  Jack Welch/Jamie Dimon type CEO speaking. They said all the same thing it is really only one question who is a great employee you want by your side.

Would you share a Foxhole with them? I think it is true.

In a Foxhole in WWII at night one man faces one way with a rifle the other man faces other way with a rifle. It is all night you cant turn around to see if other is awake and alert. You cant speak as might get shot by enemy if they hear you.

So you spend entire night in a hole knowing if guy behind you falls asleep, is not alert, is a bad shot you are both dead. He gets shot then you get shot in back.

Literally the other man has your back. You made it clear you have no place in a Foxhole.

When times get tough they know where you stand and you will be first to go.     [/quote]

Agreed.  This is known as "contest culture" in the HR industry.

Google AI summary:

"Contest culture," also known as masculinity contest culture (MCC), is a workplace environment characterized by hyper-competitiveness, dominance, and the suppression of vulnerability. Key norms include "showing no weakness," valuing "strength and stamina," prioritizing "work above all else," and a "dog-eat-dog" environment where colleagues are seen as competitors rather than collaborators. This dysfunctional culture often leads to negative outcomes such as burnout, increased turnover, harassment, a lack of psychological safety, and decreased innovation. [/quote]
