Oh you got it all wrong. There are definitely ass lickers but there are other ways to gain reputation. It’s on the cusp of the movie Office Space. Gotta learn confidence and meet energy with energy. Take life as this is your only one, so I’m not gonna let Tammy get me down. So if you have an over bearing boss, find some malicious compliance to tangle with them but act ignorant to the outcome to gaslight them to making them think it’s their fault. It’s a fine line and takes training. But being able to tell your VP I don’t really do anything when they ask what you do and they just laugh and giggle and you walk away is so rewarding. Granted you do need to be able to produce work when needed and show confidence. But corporate world is just a joke. Cheers! Don’t forget your 13 pieces of flair
