From what I can tell its to do with this "respect" concept
And some sort of false sense of entitlement.
In the company I work for we occasionally have to, for safety reasons, make decisions that are inconvenient for our customers, we know this and try hard to avoid having to take these steps.
However when we do it is usual for us to give advance warning to some, more often in these days we get the reply "You can't do that!"
Not in the sense of "it will cause me problems" but in the sense of "I will not allow you, or you are not allowed"
Well sorry but we are, in fact legally we do not even have to give notice in certain circumstances.
