Just lie, like we all do.


Its lies all the way up the chain and its just part of the game.

The hiring manager is lying to you

Your boss is lying to you

The CEO is lying to you

All everyone cares about is money 99% of the time. Anything else is just a lie. We are not family, and most people give a rats ass about any companies "goal". We just want a paycheck and most of us want a bigger paycheck than last time all the way up the chain.


What happens when your values are strongly at odds with lying and being dishonest?


Sooner or later you get tired of eating crap and counting pennies. We live in a world with a pedophile president, do what you need to survive


Find a job with a high enough paycheck that makes lying worthwhile.

Alternatively, you can live like Diogenes of Sinope.
