Meh. Everyone needs to optimize for their tolerance to bullshit. It's a lot of bullshit to use leverage, or find another job, especially when employment is merely a means to an end.

    Yup. Your employer is not your friend. At the end of the day you don't owe them anything. Even more so in America. You are just a number. Act accordingly.

    Yep. It took a little while, but after seeing “leadership” make dumb decision after dumb decision just because it helps them win their turf war with another department or aligns with their personal politics, I stopped caring. I do enough work that if I got hit by a bus, things would fall off the rails. I don’t think anyone above me realizes that. But I rest safe in the knowledge that if I do get fired someday for some bullshit reason, I’ll have the last laugh.
