After years of navigating workplace battlefields, I live like a war correspondent, covered in bullet holes and skilled at digging a bunker before making a move.
There have been more mishaps than fireworks, but that has honed my lightning-fast firefighting skills and, incidentally, developed my “lie detector radar”—I’m right eight or nine times out of ten.
After going so long without receiving a bonus, I realized the true meaning of the workplace:
“Going to work isn’t about making money; it’s about cultivating oneself and building up good karma.”
I’ve been ground down until I’m covered in scars, so now I can calmly put out fires even when things go wrong.
On top of that, I’ve learned to instantly tell truth from lies—basically, I’ve attained enlightenment.
