> Never understood why workers collectively put up with that patronizing, condescending nonsense.

Its simple because only few people find it condescending or nonsense. Most people I know either ignore it without judgement or find it valuable at work.

Ignoring soft skills or social graces work fine in some privileged roles where hard skills have some great premium. As one can see in case of top chefs, doctors, movie stars, sports people, high skill engineers etc.

For others listening to corporate leaders sermons is just way of life not some unbearable atrocity.

Pretty sorry state of affairs, correct? Implicate in all this talk of soft skills is the fact that it can also a force for manipulation of the holocaust league.

What? Please clarify, because at first glance it sounds like you’re making an extremely racially charged analogy?

And no, it isn’t necessarily a sorry state of affairs; having to sit through a talk you’re uninterested in is hardly a terrible price to pay as compared to most other labor.

in a manner speaking, yes it's a radically charged analogy, I'm making.

There's a collective price that we all pay when we regard all those sermons to be just a simple nuisance. A familiar quote will put it in a better perspective than I can: "All that is necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing." Of course I agree that if you're the only one who opposes the sermon, you risk your livelihood.
