Ask HN: Do you assume good will at work?

My rule of thumb is to assume the best in regards to tech, and be skeptical in regards to politics. That includes your manager and your CEO.

You should be advancing your manager’s career. If you’re not, you’re at risk. So assuming good will in that situation is a recipe for nothing good.

Let's put it this way. If you're not advancing your manager's career, you'll be let go.
