9 out of 10 monkeys believe they are not behind glass

It is funny in a way.

I am told that I an expert. That my opinion matters, and that I have full leeway to do what I think needs to be done.

Then I get slapped about on my decisions. Which teaches me not to do it next time.

So I am told that I am empowered, but in reality, I am not.

I merely am under the illusion of empowerment.

…

Or am I inadvertently defining the very essence of relationships here? Is this politics? Is this the basis of human relationships in a corporate environment?

Hmmm. Food for thought.
