what's a good answer to placate the c-suite if you're accused of lacking motivation and being unfriendly? (lemmy.ml)

my only motivation to be there is to earn money and my 401k. So many of my coworkers and management feel offended by this statement.

I'm union. Union lawyer thinks this is a management strategy to try to manipulate me.

Cue BS answer for any c-suite that tries making me feel insecure over this:

well, I'm a terrible liar, that's why I'm asking you :D

the unfriendly party might be easy: I'm always friendly and direct because I want to work. maybe that?

Don't answer the question, ask them for specific examples on why they think you are being unmotovated or unfriendly, don't be aggressive, just pretend you simply don't understand. They'll tell you some bullshit and you can tell it's a misunderstanding. Keep a polite and friendly tone.
