You need to develop the second craft that anyone who is successful always learns, and that's that of acting.
Detach from the people at your job - pretend to be a normal, responsive, emotional person, but honestly, underneath it all - don't give a fuck - it's ok, they can't tell, noone can - fuck them. Tell them lies, all of it, be as fucking fake and shallow on the job as you can possibly imagine because it doesn't matter - just take the money. Taking the money means you just have to pretend, otherwise it would be a fucking club, or hobby. It's not - take the money, do the work, lie to their faces about anything else other than the work. Hell, lie about the work. Plan to get out, carry out the plan, and lie all the way out the door.
Everyone does this.
It's only when you don't, and you start treating work like it's real life that you come unstuck.
See that fuckstick from BP shrugging off that telling-off he was getting for, basically, "something that had gone wrong at work".
As much of a smarmy fuck as he is, and such a terrible thing it was - he was right to be cool and evasive and weary, then fuck off yachting at the weekend. It was work, paid, salaried work for a company that isn't is, that hired him knowing this, and paid him money to do so.
It's horrible having the soul sucked out of you at work by someone who's learned to make themselves feel better by running their little power-play scripts against you. I have some empathy for you.
But they can only take what you're willing to give. The scripts only work if you deliver your lines exactly on cue.
Don't do it.
Misunderstand, lie about misunderstanding. Do it well. Fuck them up.
Take the money and move on. You don't owe them a shred of truth if they don't respect you, and you certainly don't owe them any respect back.- thats what it comes down to... they treat me with no respect and in turn i lose respect for them... its hard to switch off and play dumb.********
- dumb, especially when she is not only bullying me, but 10 other really great people who then take it out on each other.********
- set her up.
Shouldn't be hard to do.mikotondria3
