> you appear to have changed the word "subtly" to "clearly". i guess intentionally?

Perhaps I misunderstood your suggestion? I'm not sure how an action that is subtle enough that the perpetrator isn't recognised as having done anything would be useful in negotiations.

There is such a concept as "work-to-rule", that is, follow the letter of your contract and instructions from management and go no further than that. Is that the kind of action you're referring to?




>Perhaps I misunderstood

It looked like you just swapped the word subtle for clearly and declared it wouldnt work.

>I'm not sure how an action that is subtle enough that the perpetrator isn't recognised

The perpetrator is everyone.

>There is such a concept as "work-to-rule"

Now you're getting it. There are some subtleties to work to rule so i wouldnt necessarily rush to conclusions a second time also.
