Almost every day, during my working life.
I refused to tolerate political nonsense, and knew that this would restrict me regarding promotions and better salaries, but also knew that someday (that being today) I would have to look back at my younger self, and didn’t want to see some inauthentic jerk-off who was always playing the angles, just to afford a bigger house.
Later in life, I apologized to my wife for not “playing the game”, which would’ve been pretty easy to do, and would have resulted in bringing home a lot more money.
She said she wouldn’t have wanted me to behave in any other way….
