Bootlicker culture rooted in how we were educated it takes some economic security and pair of balls to undo the conditioning but most people chose to be bootlickers ๐Ÿคก

I wouldn't call it bootlicking as much as, some people are absolutely terrified at the prospect of having to find a new job and will do anything they are told at work in order to avoid that. That's the best I've been able to come up with after watching this play out over and over at places I've worked.

I'm more of a "Nah, that doesn't work for me, cya" kinda guy.

Oh yeah it's totally bootlicker culture to not lose your job which pays for the roof over your head and your food. /s

Like seriously? Where the fuck is that a choice??
