Contempt serves to self-elevate by denigrating. It is a classic power-over kind of move, for it takes personal power from.

Still. The importance of “glue people” might be better understood if we used a word that connotes cohesion rather than adhesion??

@RuthMalan We're not "used gum people on the underside of a pub table"

We're the compensatory mechanics to failures in planning, communication, teamwork, collaboration, and shared understanding.

We are the antithesis to "move fast and break things". Probably where this disdain comes from

With the help of glue people, fewer things get broken, the things that get broken are less broken, and more things that make it out the door work as intended.
