Genuine conversations are sometimes risky. Quitting once you have a job secured can be favorable to being fired, for example.

Not having genuine conversations is part of the game unfortunately. Most orgs are political.

Most people are sheep and it is unfortunate.

Sheep are rational agents when they are surrounded by wolves.

Having driven in country roads with lots of sheep around, their behaviour doesn't seem rational. Run in front of the car right as you are about to pass them.

Read about hares the other day on HN: they are trying to make the fast moving heavy predator loose momentum by crossing its path.

Best way to predict the future, is to make it happen.

One can drop the metaphors and meet the human beings instead.

Being a wolf is preferable nonetheless.

Depends if there are unguarded sheeps nearby, wolves are in extinction in some places, sheeps are not.

wolves are actively hunted by far more dangerous predators though, especially if they are killing sheep.

Absolutely in corporate america. M&A's, regulators, other employees looking to slide into your role, etc. etc.

Absolutely not, as per your demonstrative examples. You are confused and, I predict, will now want to quibble about what "genuine" means since youve lost context in the digression. SMH

The sheep metaphor broke down about 10 comments ago.
