===“[[Conflict]]”=== | |||
The thing about conflict is that it ''implies'' tension, stress and injury. Tastiness comes with it. | |||
When your interests conflict with those of your client, this is the risk you run. Get it right, and all is well. Get it wrong, and be grateful if the worst you get is a a black eye. Prepare for scuffles, feints, cuffs on the ear and bops on the nose. | |||
It isn’t wildly fashionable to say so these days, readers — we live amongst [[snowflake]]s and [[libtard]]s who bid us put psychological safety above all else — but the chance of being the wrong end of the odd dust-up, every now and then, keeps us on a level. | |||
