Abstract: Abstract In the previous chapter, we learned about the two contradictory discourses subscribed to by employees when they talked about their managers and the mutual commitment. But it was not only an employee phenomenon to harbor contradictory norms about the counterpart and the nature of the commitment. Managers displayed a similar set of dual discourses which could be attributed to the same two nodal points, namely transgression and limits. However, the chains of equivalence around these nodal points were slightly different from the employees’. This I will describe in detail below.
