As a side note I proudly wear my lanyard because I believe in futile gestures. Not because I am a conformist.
Just had GWOE, part 4 thought this excerpt seems appropriate
Resignation
Problems Caused
1. Quits trying to solve problem and encourages others to do the same.
2. Makes the situation seem out of control.
3. - Not applicable-
4. Whining annoys and distracts, often at critical phases of a problem.
What's the big deal with wearing a lanyard? Is it not easier than (being asked) to walk a picket line? You got to wear you ID anyway, why not put your "needs" (good contract/working QOL/pay raise) ahead of your desire to show loyalty to your school or former military employer.
Such a small gesture to help an important goal. It just reminds me of just how hard it will be to ask for "real" sacrifice, if and when we get that point.
It is so much easier to stay in the foxhole and let others fight the fight. You get the same rewards whether you help the cause or not. Consider that when you are asked to wear a lanyard or add a pin to your lapel.
