Interesting, if you find someone unable to say “no” you would abuse that person. And somehow I doubt you don’t really know how to find that person. You only need to block the door and refuse to let that person out unless that person give you what you want. You would be a #metoo an unable to just walk away if the door is blocked by someone stronger than you and that remind you not son subtly of that streng and what happen when the strong don’t get their way.

One common example? All the unpaid overtime for non exempt employees that is done “willingly”. The boss won’t say “I would fire you if you go home now”. He doesn’t need to say that because you already know, you have seen coworkers get sacked for doing that and “in this economy”. So intead he said, “I trust my emplyees, and I know you are responsible and only would go home when the job is finished”. And he would do that while doing the job for one and a half person, since departmen were reduced but workload remains the same. And you can “just walk away” and refuse to work for free that extra hours. Who stop you?

So, basically, if you want to find people who can’t say no? You just have to coerce them. But I’m afraid that you’ve been beaten to that “great” business idea of yours. There is already people who abuse others needs for their gain.

But ei, you can remain in your own echochamber were all men are good and women must be crazy or else, is not as if regularly we hear from men geting violent when women say “no”.
