I would suggest it is none of the above 100% of the time. Try thinking things through a little further than you normally do and you might eventually understand.

They would probably take the view that there is more benefit in having a happy and well motivated workforce for 99% of the time compared to an unhappy and unmotivated workforce 100% of the time. They probably thought that you were only a time-waster anyway and not worth the effort. It would appear their instincts were correct.
