I heard the technicians are threatening to go on strike if they have to work with 'those other weirdos.' They're probably afraid the new surgeons will make them do the chicken dance during operations or something.

Ha! I bet the technicians are worried that the surgeons won't be able to perform as well without their familiar routines. They probably think we'll mess everything up.

You know, I bet the technicians are also worried about losing their special privileges and benefits. Change can be a real threat to their status quo.

I agree. Those technicians have been doing the same things for years, and they're worried that the new system will disrupt their workflow and make their jobs more complicated.

The technicians' fear of losing their established routines and comfort zones is definitely the main cause of the resistance. Change is often uncomfortable, even when it's for the better.
