“If I’m not being paid, I’m not coming” is something i make clear with my bosses early on. It doesn’t ingratiate me to mgmt, but i already tried the “team player” route and it’s an investment with no fucking returns.

I’m too old to fuck around. I’m tired of corpo-speak. im only there to get paid, so miss me with that off-hours shit. i have plenty of friends and bossman aint never gonna be one of em.
