Coping with change in the work place

Don’t allow the change initiators to cast you as negative: Explain to them that change is a metaphysical concept which can only be explicated with reference to the continuity of identity, otherwise it becomes meaningless and, that by your dowsing them with accelerant and setting them aflame, you are symbolically acknowledging the primordial signifier of change throughout the ages.

As the process of combustion begins to really heat up, remind them of Heraclitus, Fragment 16:

This universe, which is the same for all, has not been made by any god or man, but it always has been, is, and will be an ever-living fire, kindling itself by regular measures and going out by regular measures.
