Recently, Mr. Roche from iFractal, posted We Need More Line 10 on his excellent site KnowHR. It's a brief essay that's stayed with me. I'll wait here while you go read it.
In conclusion he said that "Line 10 is about noticing. It’s about being aware." I heartily agree, but isn't this the way things should be? I recall this is one of the clear messages I had gotten from my parents. Line 10 is at its heart an old school code of honor, part of the social contract, an important tick mark on the measure of a person's mettle.
I have a feeling Mr. Roche would agree with this.

"Line 10 is at its heart an old school code of honor, part of the social contract, an important tick mark on the measure of a person's mettle."
yep, but in the world of business/
'null and void the preceeding 9', it's a loophole for 'the man's' thumb, and a union's awareness for dotted Ts and very crossed eyes
I made a mistake saying Lines 1-9 are null and void...what I meant to say what 1-9 you have to do all the time...but you have to do Line 10, too. It's, as you say, a social contract.
