Doctrine Tags: #BrokeDoctrine #WorkplacePsychology #SilentResistance
Context & Catalyst
After months of dependable performance, the operative encountered a supervisor whose leadership strategy centered on psychological tug-of-war. Demands for “speed” escalated into cartoonish extremes — a test of loyalty disguised as efficiency. Each improvement was met with a moved goalpost. This pattern wasn’t about productivity; it was about control through instability.
Senior figures like J.P. demonstrated that fairness still exists — providing hours, balance, and proof that not every authority runs on ego fuel.
Chronology of Petty Warfare
- Phase I – The Stopwatch Doctrine: Demands for proof of “speed.” Outcome: freight moved at 418 BPM.
- Phase II – The Double Standard Upgrade: Productivity doubled again. Praise vanished; hours quietly cut.
- Phase III – The Gaslight Cycle: Petty schedule changes and selective praise intended to erode morale.
- Phase IV – Counter Documentation: Operative archives events under R.A.B.B. and the Book of Boris, converting frustration into evidence and literature.
Notable Exhibits (Internal Archives)
- Dill Weed 2.0 – Part 2 — escalation notes, stopwatch, tone-shift documentation.
- Dill Weed 2.0 – The Chronicles — narrative of nightly operations and endurance.
- Possible Move Set — predictive mapping of behavioral loops.
- Part 3 & Upgrade Files — cross-references with Book of Boris Ch. XLIII–XLV on burnout, reset, and restraint.
Findings & Verdict

Verdict:
Case closed. Petty behavior identified, archived, and neutralized by documentation.
The Furnace remains lit. The Wall still stands.
Afterword / Clerk Note
This docket isn’t revenge — it’s receipt management. Naming chaos removes half its power. Keep the records. Stay steady.
