Why are you only impressed if the power of employees comes with high cost to their career? When employers exercise their power capriciously, they often do so without any material consequences. I'm more impressed with employees doing the same, i.e., exercising power with impunity.



A decision with a cost is always more meaningful than one without.


Power without cost is true power. I don't care if their decision is meaningful or not. I'm happy when labor can hold true power, even just for once.


That's only a measure of the strength of one's conviction, and is unrelated to whether they chose the right thing, or for the right reasons.
