They need it harder. They have chosen difficulty, but they need to be better at it.

Workplace Mobbing in Academe


The Neechy says that people get a lot of pleasure from being malicious at work:

OLD AND NEW TABLES

They lay lures for one another, they lure things out of one
another, that they call “good neighbourliness.” O blessed
remote period when a people said to itself: “I will be
master over peoples!”

For, my brethren, the best shall rule, the best also willeth
to rule! And where the teaching is different, there the best ts
lacking.

If they had bread for nothing, alas! for what would they
cry! Their maintainment that is their true entertainment; and
they shall have it hard!

Beasts of prey, are they: in their “working” there is even
plundering, in their “earning” there is even over-reaching!
Therefore shall they have it hard!
