I always liked to say that managers apply the carrot or the stick to extract more labour from workers. However, these last few years I'm seeing a third option in "carrot-based" workplaces: the stick painted to look like a carrot.
Coming up! You might recall Lee from Metamood Toronto and Aisha from the oop volume of Smutburger ft yours truly ✨
Which is in a way worse than the naked stick bc the worker is cajoled/gaslit/psychologically manipulated into actively agreeing to or feeling positive about being beaten down.
Writing, other crafts, and theory are like this too. It takes greater experience, skill and understanding to be able to perceive past surfaces in order to appraise and manipulate underlying structure and composition. Derivative is pejorative bc it implies a superficial replication.
