But what you do with your kids is getting the explanation from then, to get to know the process & “cause” (just a bit more guided for obvious practical reasons).
I was arguing that mid management & SB often don’t actually have any agenda to know & understand the reasons, just to keep the pressure & simple taking points that are so oversimplified that they don’t represent anything tangible and thats fine for everyone.
(The opposite of you & your kids)
Oh I totally got that. I was just trying to offer an alternative use of “reason” vs “excuse”. My parents use it too, but, as you’ve explained, in an attempt to establish hierarchy and remind me of my place.
And a shit ton of bosses who’ve done the same. I think it can be a useful tool but it’s almost never used that way.
