Is a sports team unethical when they talk about being the best? Seems pretty unethical to think your better than the other team, right?
No, it's just a thing they tell themselves to hype themselves up and avoid the depressing truth most teams face, "we're far from the best and probably never will be the best, and there's a good chance we're going to lose this game".
Well, in work the depressing truth is "my boss is my boss, I have to do what they says so I can eat". A little chant to remind yourself that work should, ideally, be mutually beneficial and based on mutual respect, and that you're not a slave to the company and its politics is all this is.
