At Work

Work is a place that is to be free of discourtesy, abuse and scheming. Of course, that is not how it works.

There groupist cliques undermine hardy, individualist workers, even withholding support that hurts the customers, and the bottom line of the for-profit company.

Groupists' first priority is to protect and extend group power. They will squelch morale, hurt company competitiveness--even tank the company itself--if these destructive tactics allow them to keep the upper hand over rebellious or nonconformist individualist workers that the entrenched group seeks to harass, demote and fire.

For the group, winning against individuals and rival groups, and wielding dominant power in the business are priority over building team work or doing what is good for the organization.

To not reward, include, cherish, celebrate and invite individualists is to hurt the team, cut company profits, and to isolate the company culture from the hardest working, most thoughtful group of workers.
