"I will say yes to absolutely everything you say" is not at all the same thing as "I will do a good job."
There are absolutely far too many workplaces where you are expected to kiss ass to be hired or to progress.
Personally, I know that I would never feel OK working there, so I don't see the point of trying to pretend I'm an ass-kisser in interviews. I actually am an agreeable person, overall; I just want to find a place to work that will be OK working with me, not with some extremely different false face I have to spend a huge amount of energy putting on every day just to get paid there.
I agree, that you are!
>> The opposite of disagreeable is not "kissing ass". The opposite of disagreeable, to start off, is not being a total asshole. No one's technical prowess is impressive enough to ignore the fact that they are completely insufferable. A project survives extra weeks or even months, but a team does not survive an eggeegious team member who makes everyone around them miserable.
Makes total sense. Great idea.
>> Take a long hard look at yourself before throwing blanket accusations at anyone and everyone around you.
That's how I would do it. You should try it.
>> As the saying goes, "if someone is an asshole, they're an asshole, if everyone is an asshole, you're the asshole"
Makes total sense.
@popotamonga, You were right it does work ^_^
I think its you who are trying so hard to rationalize your own personal problems and/or unwillingness to address them. You may need to seek some professional help!
I'm not a kiss ass type and never will be no matter how well you trying to rationalize your thiking. Been a kiss ass is no different from been a slave to your boss or your workplace. If you prefer to kiss ass do so and don't try to impose your way of thinking on others.
You're trying too hard to rationalize away personal problems and your inability and/or unwillingness to address them.
