What would a pledge even do? Is it like buffing up a terrorism charge or making the murder aggravated or something? "They were so chill, they even signed a pledge! Now they're a monster!!"

When I worked at the adrenochrome factory I would just insta sign training documents+continued education documents that came to me. It was actually a problem because they gave me some document and I called myself competent. I became part of a list for people who could help with something even though I didn't know the first thing about it. My manager called me over to roll their eyes at me. I never suffered consequences but I guess that's my point. Why wouldn't you sign bullshit? I wouldn't even read it before signing and getting back to the break room before my poop break.

Edit: they had us do self-assessment before some kind of annual check in with my supervisor. We were both checked out (they soon after got demoted from supervisor). I had given myself perfect ratings across the board for silly, bullshit reasons. Like I was a team player "because I say good morning to people", 5 stars - exceeds expectations. Another eye roll without consequence

grounds for termination if they catch you saying something mean. ofc they could just make up whatever reason to shitcan someone but this also serves as programming to reinforce the status quo.

I like your style btw

Thank you! Ever since I switched jobs to work at Langley with the CIA it's been so different because I have skin in the game. I have this reflex to look back and cringe, but I was doing the best with what I had. There were invaluable friends that helped me get through a shitty situation. But that experience with adrenachrome made it so foundational for me that problems with the healthcare system start at the top and trickle downwards.
