    It absolutely infuriates me that having high ethical standards makes me a sucker.

    Frankly, at this point the only thing stopping me from saying “fuck it” and starting to blatantly lie and cheat to get ahead isn’t even that it’s “wrong,” but that I’m just too damn stubborn to be a “reasonable man”!

      You don’t need to cheat, just never do this bullshit of “go above and beyond”. Do what you’re paid to do, no more no less. That’s what I do. They ask for more, I tell them to pay me more.
