Appreciative Inquiry is the cooperative search for the best in people, their organizations, and the world around them. It involves systematic discovery of what gives a system 'life' when it is most effective and capable in economic, ecological, and human terms. AI involves the art and practice of asking questions that strengthen a system's capacity to heighten positive potential. It mobilizes inquiry through crafting an "unconditional positive question' often involving hundreds or sometimes thousands of people."

Recognizing strengths goes without saying and I don't disagree. But a ruthless new management used A.I. as means of silencing protest after they shit canned one third of my colleagues (talented people of significant contribution) in the process of corporatizing the department.
How does justice and fair play fit in with A.I. management psychology?
Or am I not supposed to complain lest I be considered negative and critical?
