Boring work can be made awesome with the right people, the opposite ain't true

You mean the opposite is true.

He means even fascinating work can't make working with the wrong people awesome.

Honestly I have no idea how I could have inverted the 3 adjectives (english isn't my primary language) and I confess I went too far trying. But this isn't the first time I am corrected, and hopefuly won't be the last, since it makes me learn :)

I guess that's why I put the phrase after "the opposite ain't true"... anyway thanks everyone.

Since English isn't your primary language, I'd suggest dropping "ain't" from your vocabulary. In the US, it's a word generally reserved for the ignorant and uneducated.
