A Perfect Yes Man
You’re Cheap, You’re Loyal, You’re Perfect!
I don’t know why, but this morning I woke up pissed.
Maybe because I just saw another “Super Yes Man.” You know, that perfectly trained worker — disciplined, obedient, always smiling, always saying yes.
They look so ideal on the surface.
Respectful. Loyal. Cheap to hire.
That’s probably why companies love them so much. They’ll take lower pay as long as they can bow deeper and smile wider.
But when I look at it, I don’t see dedication.
I see submission.
I see fear.
I see people too scared to speak their mind, too anxious to disappoint, too conditioned to obey.
And honestly? It annoys the hell out of me.
Maybe because I’ve seen it up close — how people slowly lose themselves just to fit that mold of the “perfect worker.” Even my juniors have started acting like that. Always panicking, always apologizing, always afraid to be human.
I used to respect that calm politeness. Now I respect honesty more — the people who admit they’re tired, frustrated, or angry instead of hiding behind fake smiles.
