Using war metaphors

What do you mean?

Requering acceptance of any task

You would quit if something were against your morals e.g working on a project for Exxon mobile or something ?

War metaphors real examples:

Literally calling your employees your soldiers, calling starting positions as trenches, brainwashing your employees to a us versus the world mentality, ex-employees are 'dead' or 'on a suicidal path', etc.

Business is not war anyone who think it is has never saw what a single rifle bullet does to human flesh. Freaking psychos.

Task was being discussed, I raised valid concerns, they listened, agreed to the concerns and said 'yeah we still want you to do it'. I say I won't do this. They push harder. I left on the spot. Notice was on director desk the next day. I suspect management wanted me to take on a botched task so to have something negative over me. There may of may not have some level of nepotism there.
