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.
I’ve been in this position before. It was highly satisfying to find out from colleagues that the person they hired after me couldn’t even half do my old job.
