everyone says “form a union” or “quit your job”. weak aura. ​the real move is psychological warfare. yesterday my manager asked me why I missed the deadline. I simply looked at him, blinked slowly, and said “what deadline? you’ve been in a coma for 3 years, Richard. please wake up.” ​he started crying. I took his wallet. ​I’ve been studying applied workplace sociopathy and mind control tricks from howiconvincedthem.com, and honestly, if you aren’t using dark behavioral psychology to make your middle-management boss question their own sanity, you are leaving money on the table. ​next week I am going to use an identity-value flip tactic to convince the CEO that I am actually his father. wish me luck.

      Bank: “Sir, you have an overdue balance of $800.” Me: “I hear that you feel that way, but I’m currently setting emotional boundaries around unverified numbers.”

    I can really do this with my boss. He is so disorganized and bad with time management that he misses things in slack all the time. So I can just say I missed that message… are you sure you sent it. And he really doesn’t know if he did.

    I didnt have to lift a finger to ruin my boss’ life.

    I just quietly did my job to the best of my ability while watching him chase after a co-worker. This got back to her husband, who called the company and made some very specific threats, which caused both of them to get canned. His wife then found out.
