We had a HR seminar today which called to mind this very question, in fact I posed it to the facilitator (Tho not quite in scifi terms) It turns out people like this are 'confrontational" and are occupying their 'insecure' part of their personal development. Now I think we all got to that without a Masters in Psychology (congrats to us), but people like this are alive and kicking in the workplace, objecting for the sake of it, arguing as a way to exerting their limited power, and feeding their self worth at the expense of others and of the group.

These behaviours are some of the things HR needs to weed out, to keep an organisation healthy.

so.

Think of them as weeds, growing amongst the useful plants, always there, but needing some control when they get too aggressive or numerous (mods & list rules as gardeners with herbicide??)


Cheers,
Lara
