In 2017, I got temporarily stepped down from "manager" to "agent" for a couple months, and all the folks on my team mutinied. They were ready to disassemble the place, I tell ya. Frontier Communications are pricks - glad to see their stock taking a nose dive.
I played this for them to calm their young asses down, and let them know that nothing was forever - I wouldn't be kept down for long.
4 months later, I was back to managing them - at least the ones who didn't quit over it. I only lost 3 (out of 25), who couldn't BE calmed down.
It's from "The Karate Kid", but since that movie don't trip my trigger, I'm running the lyrics version of it.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
