A thoughtful choice between “I” and “we” and “you” is a reflection of the workplace emotional temperature: are managers and executives motivating line employees to do their best, or “throwing them under the bus?” Are we rewarding cross-functional cooperation and market impact, or angling for promotion and impressing our peers?
What I listen for is "they" as in "they won't let me" or "they don't do that here." As if "they" aren't also "you and me."
