Assume good intent until proven otherwise. Because there are plenty of people who'll repeatedly treat you like shit, and then continue to demand you assume good intent.

To which I say, pardon my french, fuck that noise. People are entitled to the benefit of doubt only as long as there can be doubt. Once that is gone, act accordingly.

Absolutely! But corporations can also treat you like shit. When they do, try to ditch them. Well, that is a challenge.

Yes, definitely a problem, specially in markets where there are only a small hand full of players. At my place, internet providers come to mind. They all suck immensely, but you know the competition is approximately equally shitty.

This is so true.

Ditch the toxic people in your life.

It is an English expression to say "pardon my French", before using expletives or crude language.
