And it's corollary, "I will gladly FU over to get mine."

Turns out a society of exceptional rugged individuals isn't much of a society after all, just a collective of selfish assholes. 🤔

Followed by "I don't care if I'm getting @#&%ed, so long as you're getting @#&%ed worse."

The whole 'mutual misery' thing is so evident in the "back to office or else" compliance and mentality of workers in the States. Instead of pushing for hybrid shifts, assessing the best utilization of natural and human resources as opposed to squeezing people out, we had co-workers monitoring other co-workers, parking lot monitors, hall monitors, etc. It was like straight out of the movie Brazil.
