When someone in a place of authority goes out of their way to make an example of you; it sticks with you and the rest of the team.
I worked at Disney and when you open an attraction someone gets the task to ‘sweep the queue’. On the book that means walk through the area where the guests queue for the attraction and make sure there are no issues (3rd shift takes care of cleaning and such). One of my A leads absolutely hated me because she and I butted heads regarding guest recovery methods. She had been there for decades and would not tolerate any pushback.
One morning I clocked in and was tasked with that role. She got out a push broom and made me literally sweep the queue. I swept till I had blisters. Even cast that weren’t there talked to me about it after the fact, so word got around.
