This document discusses issues that can arise in organizational culture such as gossiping, obsequiousness, acquiescence to authority, and conformity. It notes discomfort with asking "dumb questions" and references sycophants and walking on eggshells. It proposes a workplace tool called Object123 to help establish behavioral norms and a "safe space" where people can object to how disagreements are handled in a disrespectful manner rather than the content of disagreements. It suggests using this tool could help resolve issues without involving HR and help people feel less like they are "walking on eggshells" at work.
