One of my division officers volunteered us all for something. We complained. It was extra work and not a single one of us felt that the rewards on offer were worth it.
He said he'd allow us to put it to a vote.
We UNANIMOUSLY voted not to do it.
When the LPO reported the results, he was surprised. And saddened. He really expected that at least the majority would want to jump in and continue. "Well, I'm disappointed in the vote, so we're all going to jump in and continue, anyway, because that's how the vote should have gone." Because it really was better for the division, no matter our feelings at the time.
He was still surprised that when we won $100 worth of Shiny New CLEANING SUPPLIES, we didn't change our mind and say it was worth it.
We were just too stupid to realize what was good for us.
