after VP level you can be yourself, but at the point you have lost yourself and become a shell of who you once were

Or all the customers demand you and only you. It paints a target on your back. Then they slowly do everything in their power to get you to quit cause you hold a mirror to them and make them look at the fat lazy humans they are.

But ChadSlime, I really want to tell my research director about my race science theories about the blacks and the jews. Why are you making me suppress my authentic self!

I welcome them to fire me lol, they can replace me with AI or a brand new grad. I started as a brand new grad so anyone can do my job.

Not true, since I started speaking my mind and not trying to please every single person, my life and work life have gotten exponentially better.

I feel sorry for you if you're afraid to be your authentic self wherever you are in life. You're not going to be liked by everyone and if you are, then you're just being fake. It can be lonely and uncomfortable at times to just be you but it's the most satisfying

You don't even get paid extra for the acting work. Workplace demands you be a sort of clown/escort/soap opera actor for free.

I get a lot of shit bc I refuse to hang out with coworkers outside of work hours. I’ve heard/seen too many horror stories to risk it, especially with alcohol involved.

Being your authentic self at work is a great way to shout at people who you genuinely hate. Be authentic and un-cover all fake people out there.

Yup. You gotta play a character and get along with everyone, women mainly. I've had more trouble at work because women can not operate on logic and rational business. They operate on feelings and if their emotions are disturbed its somehow my problem... Emotional incontinence.

Keep that authentication alive, and keep getting fired, that'll make the person strong, like storm prepares tree to be strong and small tree becomes big and strong. I have been fired by almost every single company, all international, middle east and Europe, I follow myself.

I was pretty vocal at the last place I worked. They probably would have fired me, but I was twice as productive as other employees.

Being my authentic self actually led to me owning the business I once worked for. If being your authentic self gets you fired, you were in the wrong career.

Which is why so many people end up starting their own thing. Turns out the only place you can be yourself full time is the company you own.
