I'm open to disagreements on this, but while empathetic bosses do exist (I mean, they Are still human, and some cAn understand our needs), they still do have to run their business or cover their arses if they have a boss above them. So, yeah, the system may still screw with our plans or hopes because they have their own needs, values, or motives. It's Russian roulette whatever we do. Better to quit the game altogether. LoL
