      Individualism. It's coming from "one individual person yelling at their boss to accommodate them probably won't work" and extrapolating that across society.

      It's probably true to some extent that, as an individual, you will get better results if you aren't too quick to become hostile, but in many circumstances continuing to be nice and roll over just leads to worse and worse working conditions as well, and collectively such pushback actually does make a difference
