Dehumanization

A simple way
to dehumanize an employee
is to think
that we can demand
they conform to our image
of what an employee
should be like.

Violence & Mattering

When we feel
like we don’t
matter
we can naturally desire
control,
manipulation,
and even
violence.

To call us
insecure
in that moment,
while not
incorrect,
omits the valid reason
for our insecurity,
thereby making us seem
crazy,
weak,
or inept,
exacerbating the feeling
of not mattering,
thereby perpetuating
a vicious
cycle.
