Why Taleb sees signs of submission in employees

“Anyone who has worked as an employee for a while shows clear signs of submission. Evidence of this submission is that an employee allows himself to be deprived of his personal freedom for nine hours a day, year after year, appears in the office with ritualized punctuality, puts his own schedule last and does not beat anyone up on the way home after a bad day.”

– Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his book “Skin in the Game – The Risk and its Price”, Penguin Publishing, page 150
