My response:
Dudley -
I cannot believe the AWFUL advice you actually put in print and published for all the world to see. "Stop caring" and "Try to get laid off"...what is that?!?!?
Where is your personal pride in a job well done? The real character of a person is measured not in what someone does when people are watching, but what a person does when no one is around. You say to "always be incredibly couteous" but you can see this kind of passive aggressive attitude a mile away. This kind of behavior only burns bridges with not only your current company, but the co-workers that are relying on you to do THEIR jobs...which some of them DO enjoy and have pride in.
Remember...we are not only accountable for ourselves! Do a GOOD job and have pride in your work - ALL THE TIME - whether or not it is for someone else or for you. Your name and your reputation are ALWAYS going to follow it.
