The above YT video is about the Checkers/Rally's CEO masquerading as a worker and being yelled at and watching abuse by a shift supervisor to workers. The Shift supervisor then makes the above justification, that workers wouldn't do anything if they weren't abused.
Naturally, this video has instant karma happen. But in the real world, you put up with it, you get fired, or you leave. The saying "Go to work because you believe in the company, but leave because of the manager." is precisely because of this abusive school of thought.
And this applies in tech as much as it doesn't. In tech, this is how you get return-to-work, massive spyware on devices (sometimes even your own devices if the company refuses to provide equipment), and other abhorrent and illegal-in-not-USA policies.
Quite honestly, in more professional positions, being told the strategic plan is more than enough for us to realize what needs done, how to do it, and execute it. Then again, I also argue for more democratic workplaces, rather than the top-down authoritarian method.
